Context — God’s Unchangeable Promise

12Then you will not be sluggish, but will imitate those who through faith and patience inherit what has been promised. 13When God made His promise to Abraham, since He had no one greater to swear by, He swore by Himself,

14saying, “I will surely bless you and multiply your descendants.”

15And so Abraham, after waiting patiently, obtained the promise. 16Men swear by someone greater than themselves, and their oath serves as a confirmation to end all argument.

Hebrews 6:14 Summary

[This verse reminds us that God is a promise-keeper who always does what He says He will do, just like He promised to bless and multiply Abraham's descendants. God swore by Himself to guarantee the fulfillment of His promise, which shows how serious and committed He is to keeping His word, as seen in Hebrews 6:13. We can trust in God's faithfulness and patience, just like Abraham did, and wait for His promises to be fulfilled in our lives, as seen in Romans 4:20-21 and Hebrews 6:15. By trusting in God's promises, we can have confidence and hope for the future, knowing that He is always with us and working everything out for our good, as seen in Romans 8:28.]

Gill's Exposition on Hebrews 6:14

Saying, surely blessing I will bless thee,.... Which is expressive of the certainty of the blessings; the reality and substantiality of them; the abundance of them, and the continuance of the same:

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Hebrews 6:14

Saying, Surely blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee. Multiplying ... multiply - Hebraism for superabundantly multiply. Thee. The increase of Abraham's seed is virtually an increase of himself.

Matthew Poole's Commentary on Hebrews 6:14

Here is laid down the form and matter of God’ s oath: the form, in , is implied in the particle yk in this text well rendered surely, . The other defective expressions are forms of swearing, as if, except, unless; but here it is positive, surely, or verily, which Christ frequently useth; it is a vehement assertion of what he saith. The whole matter of God’ s oath is not repeated, but the substance and comprehensive part of it, which made for the apostle’ s purpose here. By blessing, in the Hebrew manner of expressing, is carried the abundance and certainty of all that temporal and spiritual good, which he would convey unto him in and through the blessed and promised Seed, our Lord Jesus Christ, with the multiplicity, abundance, and certainty of the seed natural, and believing, to whom he should be related as a Father through Christ, as is evident, ; and all this so uttered, as if God could not express how much he loved him.

Trapp's Commentary on Hebrews 6:14

14 Saying, Surely blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee. Ver. 14. Bleasing I will bless thee] Now he whom God blesseth shall be blessed, as Isaac said of Jacob, Genesis 27:33.

Ellicott's Commentary on Hebrews 6:14

(14) Saying.—The words of the oath itself, “By myself have I sworn, saith the Lord” (Genesis 22:16), are not repeated, because they are almost identical with the writer’s own words introducing the citation (Hebrews 6:13). It will be observed that one change is made—in the last word; for in Genesis we read, “I will multiply thy seed.” The alteration may be made for brevity, as the quotation is abridged; but it will be seen that the effect of it is to direct greater attention to the first words, and to fix the thought on the blessing promised to Abraham himself.

Adam Clarke's Commentary on Hebrews 6:14

Verse 14. Saying, Surely blessing I will bless thee] I will continue to bless thee. Multiplying I will multiply thee.] I will continue to increase thy posterity. In the most literal manner God continues to fulfil this promise; genuine Christians are Abraham's seed, and God is increasing their number daily. See the notes on Genesis 22:12-18; and Genesis 23:1.

Cambridge Bible on Hebrews 6:14

14. blessing I will bless thee] The repetition represents the emphasis of the Hebrew, which expresses a superlative by repeating the word twice.I will multiply thee] In the Heb. and LXX. we have “I will multiply thy seed.”

Barnes' Notes on Hebrews 6:14

Saying, Surely blessing I will bless thee - That is, I will certainly bless thee.

Whedon's Commentary on Hebrews 6:14

14. Multiplying I will multiply thee—By this promise Abraham is to be father of the Messianic race, including the Messiah, with all the blessing in the Messiah included, temporal and eternal.
