The Letter to the Hebrews, Chapter 3
{3:1} Therefore, holy brothers, partakers of a heavenly calling,
consider the Emissary and High Priest of our confession, Yeshua; {3:2}
who was faithful to him who appointed him, as also was Moses in all
his house. {3:3} For he has been counted worthy of more glory than
Moses, inasmuch as he who built the house has more honor than the
house. {3:4} For every house is built by someone; but he who built all
things is God. {3:5} Moses indeed was faithful in all his house as a
servant, for a testimony of those things which were afterward to be
spoken, {3:6} but Messiah is faithful as a Son over his house; whose
house we are, if we hold fast our confidence and the glorying of our
hope firm to the end. {3:7} Therefore, even as the Holy Spirit says,
"Today if you will hear his voice,
{3:8} don't harden your hearts, as in the provocation,
like as in the day of the trial in the wilderness,
{3:9} where your fathers tested me by proving me,
and saw my works for forty years.
{3:10} Therefore I was displeased with that generation,
and said, 'They always err in their heart,
but they didn't know my ways;'
{3:11} as I swore in my wrath,
'They will not enter into my rest.'"[1]
{3:12} Beware, brothers, lest perhaps there be in any one of you an
evil heart of unbelief, in falling away from the living God; {3:13}
but exhort one another day by day, so long as it is called "today;"
lest any one of you be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin. {3:14}
For we have become partakers of Messiah, if we hold fast the beginning
of our confidence firm to the end: {3:15} while it is said,
"Today if you will hear his voice,
don't harden your hearts, as in the rebellion."[2]
{3:16} For who, when they heard, rebelled? No, didn't all those who
came out of Egypt by Moses? {3:17} With whom was he displeased forty
years? Wasn't it with those who sinned, whose bodies fell in the
wilderness? {3:18} To whom did he swear that they wouldn't enter into
his rest, but to those who were disobedient? {3:19} We see that they
were not able to enter in because of unbelief.
