Psalms 40:6. Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire;
The blood of all the bullocks, rams, and lambs offered in sacrifice, had possessed no real efficacy in putting away sin. They had no virtue except as types, and symbols, and prophecies of the one great sacrifice that was to come.
Psalms 40:6. Mine ears hast thou opened:
Probably alluding to the ceremony of boring to the door-post the ears of those who determined to remain as slaves to their masters when they might have gone free. So Christ was ready to be the servant of his Father, and the Saviour of sinners; he voluntarily undertook to bear all that this would involve.
