Hebrews 10:7

7 “Then I said, ‘ Here I am: ^{▼▼ Grk “behold,” but this construction often means “here is/there is” (cf. BDAG 468 s.v. ἰδού 2).} I have come – it is written of me in the scroll of the book – to do your will, O God.’” ^{▼▼ A quotation from Ps 40:6–8 (LXX). The phrase a body you prepared for me (in v. 5) is apparently an interpretive expansion of the HT reading “ears you have dug out for me.”}
