‏ Hebrews 10:27

Expectation ( εκδοχη ). Usually reception or interpretation from εκδεχομα (Heb 11:10), only here in N.T. and in unusual sense like προσδοκια, like απεκδεχομα (Ro 8:19, 23, 25), this sense apparently "coined by the writer" (Moffatt) from his use of εκδεχομα in 10:13. The papyri have it in the sense of interpretation.

A fierceness of fire ( πυρος ζηλος ). An anger (zeal, jealousy) marked (genitive) by fire. Language kin to that in Isa 26:11; Zep 1:19; Ps 79:5. See also 2Th 1:8-10 for a like picture of destined doom.

Devour ( εσθιειν ). "To eat" (figuratively), present active infinitive.

The adversaries ( τους υπεναντιους ). Old double compound adjective ( υπο, εν, αντιος ), in N.T. only here and Col 2:14. Those directly opposite.
