In the context of Hebrews, this is a reference to Christ, who is portrayed as willingly stepping into His role as the Savior. The Greek word for "said" (&#949;&#7990;&#960;&#959;&#957;, eipon) implies a definitive and authoritative statement, underscoring the intentionality and purpose behind Christ's mission.<p><b>Here I am</b><br />This expression signifies readiness and presence. It echoes the Hebrew phrase "Hineni," used by figures like Abraham and Isaiah when responding to God's call. It conveys a sense of availability and submission to God's plan. In the context of Christ, it highlights His readiness to fulfill the divine mission of redemption.<p><b>it is written about Me</b><br />This phrase points to the fulfillment of prophecy and the continuity of God's plan as revealed in Scripture. The Greek term "&#947;&#941;&#947;&#961;&#945;&#960;&#964;&#945;&#953;" (gegraptai) means "it is written," indicating the authoritative and unchanging nature of God's Word. This underscores the idea that Christ's coming was foretold and is a fulfillment of the Old Testament prophecies, particularly those found in the Psalms and the Prophets.<p><b>in the scroll</b><br />The "scroll" refers to the Scriptures, particularly the Old Testament writings. In the ancient world, scrolls were the primary medium for recording texts. This phrase emphasizes the written nature of God's revelation and the importance of Scripture in understanding God's will. It also highlights the continuity between the Old and New Testaments, with Christ as the central figure in God's redemptive plan.<p><b>I have come</b><br />This phrase indicates purpose and mission. The Greek verb "&#7973;&#954;&#969;" (h&#275;k&#333;) suggests arrival with intent. It underscores the incarnation of Christ, who came into the world with a specific purpose: to accomplish the will of God. This reflects the divine initiative in the salvation of humanity.<p><b>to do Your will</b><br />This phrase captures the essence of Christ's mission. The Greek word for "will" (&#952;&#941;&#955;&#951;&#956;&#945;, thel&#275;ma) refers to God's desire or plan. Christ's life and ministry were characterized by perfect obedience to the Father's will, contrasting with the disobedience of humanity. This obedience is central to the atonement, as Christ fulfills the righteous requirements of the law on behalf of humanity.<p><b>O God</b><br />This direct address to God highlights the relationship between the Father and the Son. It underscores the divine nature of Christ and His submission to the Father's authority. The use of "O God" reflects reverence and acknowledgment of God's sovereignty in the unfolding of the redemptive plan. It also serves as a model for believers, emphasizing the importance of aligning one's life with God's will.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/hebrews/10.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(7) <span class= "bld">Lo, I come.</span>--Rather, <span class= "ital">Lo, I am come</span>--I am here. The original meaning of the following words is not quite certain. The Hebrew admits of two renderings. (1) Then I said, Lo, I am come! in the roll of the Book it is prescribed unto me; (2) Then I said, Lo, I am come with the roll of the Book that is written concerning me. The "roll of the Book" is the roll containing the Divine Law. The next clause is quite distinct in construction: "I delight to do Thy will, O God; yea, Thy law is within my heart." The omission of the words "I delight," alters the connection of the words; but it will be seen that, though the Hebrew verses are condensed, their meaning is exactly preserved.<p><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/hebrews/10-7.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Greek</div><span class="word">Then</span><br /><span class="grk">&#932;&#972;&#964;&#949;</span> <span class="translit">(Tote)</span><br /><span class="parse">Adverb<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/greek/strongs_5119.htm">Strong's 5119: </a> </span><span class="str2">Then, at that time.
