"Then said I, Lo, I am come (In the roll of the book it is written of me) To do thy will, O God." — Hebrews 10:7 (ASV)
Lo, I come.—Rather, Lo, I am come—I am here. The original meaning of the following words is not quite certain. The Hebrew admits of two renderings:
The “roll of the Book” is the roll containing the Divine Law.
The next clause is quite distinct in construction: I delight to do Your will, O God; yes, Your law is within my heart.
The omission of the words “I delight,” alters the connection of the words; but it will be seen that, though the Hebrew verses are condensed, their meaning is exactly preserved.
