Psalms 40:6

Sacrifice. Hebrew. zabach. App-43. Quoted in Hebrews 10:5.

offering. Hebrew. minchah. App-43. Compare Hebrews 10:5. Note the four great offerings here, and separately: Psalms 40:6. any sacrifice; -6-, the meal offering; -6-, burnt offering; -6, sin offering (compare Psalms 22); and inPs. 69 =the trespass offering.

opened. digged. Kal Pret. of karah,. opening by digging, or boring. Note the occurrences: Genesis 50:5. Num 24:18. 2 Chronicles 16:14 (margin) Psalms 7:15 (margin); Psalms 40:6; Psalms 57:6; Psalms 119:85.Jeremiah 18:22; Jeremiah 18:22, referring to the opening of the ear to hear; for which, in Isaiah 50:5 (compare Isaiah 48:8), another word (pathah) is used with the meaning of opening (as of. door). Note the obedience, which is the point emphasized by the alternation in Psalms 40:6. | Sacrifice and offering. Not desired.. Mine ears hast Thou digged. (Pos.). Burnt-offering and sin-offering. Not required.. Lo,. come to do. (Pos.) Obedience is the great truth here conveyed; and, on the same grounds as in 1 Samuel 15:22.Jeremiah 7:22; Jeremiah 7:23.Hebrews 10:5, is not. quotation of this verse: it is what Messiah "said" when He came into the world to perform what Psalms 40:6 prophesied, when He had become Incarnate, and could say "I am come". He must change the word "ears" for the "body", in which that obedience was to be accomplished, and He had. right to change the words, and thus adapt them. It is not. question of quotation, or of the Septuagint versus the Hebrew text. Note the heaping up of these expressions to emphasize the obedience, and observe the alternation of positive and negative in verses: Psalms 40:9; Psalms 40:10.
