Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerses 8-10. - Saying above that Sacrifices and offerings and whole burnt offerings and offerings for sin thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure therein (such as are offered according to the Law); then hath he said, Lo, I come to do thy will; i.e. he has made this second assertion while making the first also. The purpose of thus putting it is to show the connection between the two assertions; that fulfillment of God's will is spoken of as a substitute for sacrifices, whose inutility in themselves had been declared. Yes; he taketh away the first, that he may establish the second. In the which will (the Divine will, willing our redemption through Christ, and perfectly fulfilled by him) we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. For the sense to be attached to the verb ἁγιάζω see under Hebrews 2:11. It is not our progressive sanctification by the Holy Ghost that is intended, but the hallowing effected for us once for all, as denoted by the perfect participle ἡγιασμένοι. The remainder of this concluding summary (vers. 11-19) serves to weave together the various threads of the foregoing argument and emphasize the result.
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(8) Above when he said.--Better, Whereas he saith above; or, as we might express it, "Saying at the outset," "Setting out with saying." In the following words the best MSS. have the plural, "Sacrifices and offerings and whole burnt offerings and (sacrifices) for sin." The change from singular to plural is in harmony with the thought of Hebrews 10:1-4, the repetition of sacrifices.Which are offered by the law.--Rather, such as are offered according to law. The change from "the law" to "law" seems intentional, as if the writer had in thought the contrast between any external law of ritual and a principle of inward obedience.
