Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Hebrews 1:5

_ _ For — substantiating His having “obtained a more excellent name than the angels.”

_ _ unto which — A frequent argument in this Epistle is derived from the silence of Scripture (Hebrews 1:13; Hebrews 2:16; Hebrews 7:3, Hebrews 7:14) [Bengel].

_ _ this day have I begotten thee — (Psalms 2:7). Fulfilled at the resurrection of Jesus, whereby the Father “declared,” that is, made manifest His divine Sonship, heretofore veiled by His humiliation (Acts 13:33; Romans 1:4). Christ has a fourfold right to the title “Son of God”; (1) By generation, as begotten of God; (2) By commission, as sent by God; (3) By resurrection, as “the first-begotten of the dead” (compare Luke 20:36; Romans 1:4; Revelation 1:5); (4) By actual possession, as heir of all [Bishop Pearson]. The Psalm here quoted applied primarily in a less full sense to Solomon, of whom God promised by Nathan to David. “I will be his father and he shall be my son.” But as the whole theocracy was of Messianic import, the triumph of David over Hadadezer and neighboring kings (2 Samuel 8:1-18; Psalms 2:2, Psalms 2:3, Psalms 2:9-12) is a type of God’s ultimately subduing all enemies under His Son, whom He sets (Hebrew, “anointed,” Psalms 2:6) on His “holy hill of Zion,” as King of the Jews and of the whole earth. the antitype to Solomon, son of David. The “I” in Greek is emphatic; I the Everlasting Father have begotten Thee this day, that is, on this day, the day of Thy being manifested as My Son, “the first-begotten of the dead” (Colossians 1:18; Revelation 1:5). when Thou hast ransomed and opened heaven to Thy people. He had been always Son, but now first was manifested as such in His once humbled, now exalted manhood united to His Godhead. Alford refers “this day” to the eternal generation of the Son: the day in which the Son was begotten by the Father is an everlasting to-day: there never was a yesterday or past time to Him, nor a to-morrow or future time: “Nothing there is to come, and nothing past, but an eternal NOW doth ever last” (Proverbs 30:4; John 10:30, John 10:38; John 16:28; John 17:8). The communication of the divine essence in its fullness, involves eternal generation; for the divine essence has no beginning. But the context refers to a definite point of time, namely, that of His having entered on the inheritance (Hebrews 1:4). The “bringing the first-begotten into the world” (Hebrews 1:6), is not subsequent, as Alford thinks, to Hebrews 1:5, but anterior to it (compare Acts 2:30-35).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Hebrews 1:4-14.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Hebrews 1:5

Thou art my Son — God of God, Light of Light. This day have I begotten thee — I have begotten thee from eternity, which, by its unalter able permanency of duration, is one continued, unsuccessive day. I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son — I will own myself to be his Father, and him to be my Son, by eminent tokens of my peculiar love The former clause relates to his natural Sonship, by an eternal, inconceivable generation; the other, to his Father's acknowledgment and treatment of him as his incarnate Son. Indeed this promise related immediately to Solomon, but in a far higher sense to the Messiah. Psalms 2:7; 2 Samuel 7:14

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Hebrews 1:5

(5) For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, (k) this day have I begotten thee? (6) And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son?

(5) He proves and confirms the dignity of Christ revealed in the flesh, by these six evident testimonies by which it appears that he far surpasses all angels, so much so that he is called both Son, and God in (Hebrews 1:5-8, Hebrews 1:10, Hebrews 1:13).

(k) The Father begat the Son from everlasting, but that everlasting generation was revealed and represented to the world in his time, and therefore he added this word "Today" (6) He proves and confirms the dignity of Christ revealed in the flesh, by these six evident testimonies by which it appears that he far surpasses all angels, so much so that he is called both Son, and God in (Hebrews 1:5-8, Hebrews 1:10, Hebrews 1:13).
