Matthew Poole and continuators on Hebrews 10:5

5 Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me:

[non-Latin text not transcribed] introduceth the Proof of the Invalidity of legal Sacrifices, and the Efficacy of the one Sacrifice of Christ, from Divine Testimony about both of them.

God the Son, who existed before his Incarnation, bespeaketh God the Father, when he was coming into this World, to become a part of it, by uniting an holy Human Nature to the Divine, as David voucheth by the Spirit of God, Psal. 40.6. The bloody atoning Sacrifices of Bulls and Goats, the Peace-offerings, and Thank-offerings, Levit. 7.16. and Offerings of every sort without blood, required by the Law of Moses, God did neither desire, require, nor delight in, as in themselves propitiatory; for he never intended them to take away Sins, or perfect the Worshippers; See 1 Sam. 15.22. Isa. 1.11, to 15. Ier. 6.20. Amos 5.21, 22.

But the Hebrew Text reads, The ears hast thou bored for me. The Apostle makes use here of the Greek Paraphrase, A Body hast thou fitted me; as giving in proper Terms the sense of the former figurative Expression, discovering thereby Christs entire willingness to become God's Servant for ever, Exod. 21.6. and that he might be so, which he could not, as God the Son, simply, the Father by his Spirit did articulate him, and formed him joynt by joynt a Body; that is, furnished him with an Human Nature, so as that he might perform that piece of Service which God required, offering up himself a bloody Sacrifice for Sin, to which he was obedient, Phil. 2.8. Thus were his Ears bored, which could not be, if he had not been cloathed with a Body.
