Jesus Greater than Moses Therefore, holy brothers, partakers of a heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession—Jesus,
2
who was faithful to Him who appointed Him, as Moses also was in all His house.
3
For He has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses, in so much as the builder of the house has more honor than the house.
4
For every house is built by someone, but the builder of all things is God.
5
Now Moses was faithful in allHis house as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken later,
6
but Christwas faithfulas a Son over His house—whose house we are, if we hold fast our confidence and the boast of our hope.
7
Therefore, just as the Holy Spirit says,“Today if you hearHis voice,
8
Do not harden your hearts as 3:8Lit in the provocation when they provokedMe,As in the day of trial in the wilderness,
9
Where your fathers triedMeby testingMe,And sawMy works for forty years.
10
“ThereforeIwas angry with this generation,And said, ‘They always go astray in their heart,And they did not knowMy ways’;
11
AsIswore inMy wrath,‘They shall not enterMy rest.’ ”Warning Against Unbelief
12
Seeto itbrothers, that there not be in any one of you an evil, unbelieving heart 3:12Lit in falling that falls away from the living God.
13
But encourage one another day after day, as long as it isstillcalled “Today,” so that none of you will be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.
14
For we have become partakers of Christ, if we hold fast the beginning of our assurance firm until the end,
15
while it is said,“Today if you hearHis voice,Do not harden your hearts,as 3:15 Lit in the rebellion when they provokedMe.”
16
For who provokedHimwhen they had heard? Indeed, did not all those who came out of Egyptledby Moses?
17
And with whom was He angry for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose corpses fell in the wilderness?
18
And to whom did He swear that they would not enter His rest, but to those who were disobedient?
19
Sowe see that they were not able to enter because of unbelief.
