Hebrews Chapter 4 verse 7 Holy Bible

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(7) Again, he limiteth.--Better, He again marketh out (or, defineth). The next step taken (see the last Note) is to point out that, long after the occupation of Canaan, the Psalmist--God speaking in the Psalm--says "To-day," in pleading with Israel. The implied meaning is as if He said, "Harden not your hearts today, lest I swear unto you also, Ye shall not enter into My rest."In David.--Probably this is equivalent to saying, In the Book of Psalms. In the LXX., however, Psalms 95 is ascribed to David.After so long a time.--The period intervening between the divine sentence on the rebels in the wilderness (Numbers 14) and the time of the Psalmist.As it is said.--The best MSS. read, as it hath been before said.Parallel Commentaries ...Greek[God] again designatedὁρίζει (horizei)Verb - Present Indicative Active - 3rd Person SingularStrong's 3724: From horion; to mark out or bound, i.e. to appoint, decree, specify.a certainτινὰ (tina)Interrogative / Indefinite Pronoun - Accusative Feminine SingularStrong's 5100: Any one, some one, a certain one or thing.
