Hebrews 4:5 - Forerunner Commentary

Hebrews 4:5

3 For we who have believed do enter that rest, as He has said:
^a“So I swore in My wrath,
‘They shall not enter My rest,’ ” although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.

4 For He has spoken in a certain place of the seventh day in this way: ^a“And God rested on the seventh day from all His works”;

5 and again in this place: ^a“They shall not enter My rest.”

6 Since therefore it remains that some must enter it, and those to whom it was first preached did not enter because of disobedience,

7 again He designates a certain day, saying in David, “Today,” after such a long time, as it has been said:
^a“Today, if you will hear His voice,
Do not harden your hearts.”

8 For if¹ Joshua had ^agiven them rest, then He would not afterward have spoken of another day.

9 There remains therefore a rest for the people of God.
