Therefore, holy brothers, sharers of a heavenly calling, consider carefully the apostle and high priest of our confession, Jesus,
being faithful to the one having appointed him, as also Moses {was} in his house.
For this one has been considered worthy of greater glory than Moses, according to how much greater honor the one building it has {than} the house.
For every house is built by someone, but God {is} the one having built all things. \*
And Moses {was} indeed faithful as a servant in his entire house, for a testimony of the {things that} would be spoken in the future;
but Christ, as a Son over his house (whose house we are if we hold fast to the confidence and the boasting of our hope). \*
Therefore, just as the Holy Spirit says: “Today, if you hear his voice, 8 do not harden your hearts as in the provocation, during the day of testing in the wilderness \* 9 where your fathers tested {me} by examination, and they saw my works 10 for 40 years. Therefore, I was very angry with that generation, and I said, ‘They are always going astray in their hearts, and they have not known my ways.’ 11 As I swore in my wrath, ‘…if they will enter into my rest!’” \*
Watch out, brothers, so that there will not be in any of you a wicked heart of unbelief, in the falling away from the living God.
Instead, exhort one another every day, as long as it is called “today,” so that no one among you is hardened by the deceitfulness of sin. \*
For we have become sharers of Christ, if indeed we hold firm the beginning of our confidence until the end,
while it is said, “Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion.” \*
For which ones, having heard, provoked {him}? {Was it} not all the ones having come out from Egypt through Moses?
And with whom was he very angry for 40 years? {Was it} not with the ones having sinned, whose corpses fell in the wilderness?
And to whom did he swear that they would not enter into his rest, if not to the ones having disobeyed?
And we see that they were not able to enter, because of unbelief. \*
