Excerpt from Exegetical Footnotes to the Epistle to the Hebrews

The broader scope of the author's treatment, however, will not allow this. True it is that he has begun his eloquent Epistle with the magnificent prelude, God hath spoken. And this final Revealer, the Son, in whom He hath spoken, constitutes the center of interest in chapters one and two. He indeed is God's final word to man. But, as one's mind sympathetically follows the trend of thought in the third and fourth chapters, it becomes clear that the author's language presents what God has spoken un der a somewhat different aspect.

When these chapters are read with our passage in view, then the living word of 4: 12 becomes at once a spoken and a heard word. The phraseology of speaking and hearing, repeated over and over again in these two chapters, all deliberately contributes to the significant idea of harmonious identification between God andthe believer, which finds its ultimate consummation in 4: 11 Take for instance 3: 7, Wherefore, even as the Holy Spirit saith, To-day if ye shall hear his voice, Harden not your hearts; or 3: 15, while it is said, To-day if ye shall hear his voice, Harden not your hearts.
