“And I beseech you, brethren, suffer the word of exhortation: for I have written a letter unto you in few words.”
I appeal to you, brothers and sisters, bear with my word of exhortation, for I have written to you briefly — the epistolary closing identifies Hebrews as a 'word of exhortation' (logos tēs paraklēseōs), a homily rather than doctrinal treatise. Though substantial in length, it is compressed compared to the fullness it could contain.
