Commentaries:
Robertson's Word Pictures (NT)
A disannulling (aqethsiv). Late word from aqetew (alpha privative and tiqhmi), to set aside (Mark 6:26), in N.T. only here and Hebrews 9:26. Common in the papyri in a legal sense of making void. Involved in metaqesiv (change in verse Hebrews 7:12).
Foregoing (proagoushv). Present active participle of proagw, to go before (I Timothy 1:18).
Because of its weakness (dia to authv asqenev). Neuter abstract adjective with article for quality as in verse Hebrews 7:7 with dia and accusative case for reason.
Unprofitableness (anwfelev). Old compound (alpha privative and ofelov) useless, and neuter singular like asqenev. In N.T. only here and Titus 3:9.
