Greek Commentary for Hebrews 10:27
Usually reception or interpretation from εκδεχομαι ekdechomai (Hebrews 11:10), only here in N.T. and in unusual sense like προσδοκια prosdokia like απεκδεχομαι apekdechomai (Romans 8:19, Romans 8:23, Romans 8:25), this sense apparently “coined by the writer” (Moffatt) from his use of εκδεχομαι ekdechomai in Hebrews 10:13. The papyri have it in the sense of interpretation. A fierceness of fire An anger (zeal, jealousy) marked (genitive) by fire. Language kin to that in Isaiah 26:11; Zephaniah 1:18; Psalm 79:5. See also 2 Thessalonians 1:8-10 for a like picture of destined doom. Devour “To eat” (figuratively), present active infinitive. The adversaries Old double compound adjective (υπο εν αντιος hupo class="translit"> en class="translit"> antios), in N.T. only here and Colossians 2:14. Those directly opposite. [source]
Rend. “a kind of fearful expectation.” Ἐκδοχὴ N.T.oolxx. [source]
For ζῆλος see on James 3:14. The radical idea of the word is ferment of spirit ( ζεῖν toboil; see Acts 18:25; Romans 12:11). This idea takes on different aspects in ζῆλος , as indignation, Acts 5:17; zeal, John 2:17; Romans 10:2; 2 Corinthians 7:7; 2 Corinthians 11:2; Philemon 3:6; envy, Romans 13:13; 1 Corinthians 3:3; Galatians 5:20. In the last sense often with ἔπις strifeThe phrase fiery indignation, lit. indignation of fire (N.T.o) is an adaptation from Isaiah 26:11. [source]
Only here and Colossians 2:14. Often in lxx. [source]

Old adjective (from ποβεω phobeō to frighten). In N.T. only in Heb. (Hebrews 10:27, Hebrews 10:31; Hebrews 12:21). The sense is not to be explained away. The wrath of God faces wrongdoers. To fall “The falling” (articular infinitive second aorist active of εμπιπτω empiptō to fall in, followed here by εις eis). We are not dealing with a dead or an absentee God, but one who is alive and alert (Hebrews 3:12). [source]
