Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Hebrews 4:7

_ _ AgainAnew the promise recurs. Translate as the Greek order is, “He limited a certain day, ‘To-day.’” Here Paul interrupts the quotation by, “In (the Psalm of) David saying after so long a time (after five hundred years’ possession of Canaan),” and resumes it by, “as it has been said before (so the Greek oldest manuscript, before, namely, Hebrews 3:7, Hebrews 3:15), To-day if ye hear His voice,” etc. [Alford].

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Hebrews 4:1-10.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Hebrews 4:7

After so long a time — It was above four hundred years from the time of Moses and Joshua to David. As it was said before — St. Paul here refers to the text he had just cited.
