Book ◦ Chapter

I urge you, brothers
The term "brothers" indicates a familial relationship among believers, emphasizing unity and shared faith. This reflects the early Christian community's practice of viewing each other as spiritual family, transcending ethnic and social boundaries. The use of "urge" suggests a strong appeal, highlighting the importance of the message. This aligns with other New Testament writings where believers are encouraged to support and exhort one another (e.g.,Romans 12:1,1 Thessalonians 4:1).

to bear with my word of exhortation
The phrase "word of exhortation" suggests a message intended to encourage and strengthen the faith of the recipients. In the context of Hebrews, this likely refers to the entire epistle, which is filled with theological insights and practical advice. The call to "bear with" implies that the message may be challenging or require patience and perseverance to fully understand and apply. This is consistent with the broader theme of Hebrews, which encourages believers to remain steadfast in their faith despite trials (Hebrews 10:36).

for I have only written to you briefly
This statement indicates that the author views the letter as a concise treatment of the topics addressed. Despite its brevity, the epistle covers significant theological ground, including the superiority of Christ and the call to faithfulness. The notion of brevity suggests that there is much more to explore and understand about the faith, encouraging readers to delve deeper into the teachings of Christ. This aligns with the broader biblical theme of continuous growth in understanding and wisdom (Colossians 1:9-10).

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers

(22)And I beseech you.--Rather,Bui I exhort you, brethren, bear with the word of exhortation; for indeed it is in few words that I have written unto you. How fitly the whole Epistle may be spoken of as an "exhortation" is obvious. (See Note onHebrews 5:11.) And if we take into account the subjects with which the writer has been dealing, we shall not wonder that a Letter which might have been read to the assembled church in less than an hour should be described as brief. (Comp.1Peter 5:12.)

Pulpit Commentary

Verse 22. -But I beseech you, brethren, suffer the word of exhortation: for I have written a letter unto you in few words. This and the following verse are in the manner of a postscript, such as is usual with St. Paul. Some little apprehension is implied (cf. ver. 18) of the admonitions not being taken well by all. Though the Epistle is not short as compared with others, yet it has been compressed with as "few words" as the subject would allow (cf. ver. 11). If, however, this concluding portion of the Epistle was written or dictated by St. Paul himself, as suggested under ver. 19, the "few words" may possibly refer to it only.
