New Defender's Study Bible Notes
3:2 oracles. This is a striking synonym for the Holy Scriptures, a term used only four times in the New Testament (see also Acts 7:38; Hebrews 5:12; I Peter 4:11), stressing the fact that they actually constituted the very utterances of God. These were given to and through the Jews and are preserved for us now in the Old Testament.
