Failure of the Wilderness Wanderers

16 aFor who, having heard, rebelled? Indeed, was it not all who came out of Egypt, led by Moses?  
17 Now with whom was He angry forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, awhose corpses fell in the wilderness?  
18 And ato whom did He swear that they would not enter His rest, but to those who did not obey?  
19 So we see that they could not enter in because of aunbelief.

Hebrews 3:18

To whom sware he - God never acts by any kind of caprice; whenever he pours out his judgments, there are the most positive reasons to vindicate his conduct.

Those whose carcasses fell in the wilderness were they who had sinned. And those who did not enter into his rest were those who believed not. God is represented here as swearing that they should not enter in, in order to show the determinate nature of his purpose, the reason on which it was founded, and the height of the aggravation which occasioned it.
