And the LORD heard the voice of your words, and was wroth, and sware, saying,

For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.

And in this {place} again, If they shall enter into my rest.

And the LORD said, I have pardoned according to thy word:

And the space in which we came from Kadeshbarnea, until we were come over the brook Zered, {was} thirty and eight years; until all the generation of the men of war were wasted out from among the host, as the LORD sware unto them. {brook: or, valley}

And the LORD'S anger was kindled the same time, and he sware, saying,

I the LORD have said, I will surely do it unto all this evil congregation, that are gathered together against me: in this wilderness they shall be consumed, and there they shall die.

How long {shall I bear with} this evil congregation, which murmur against me? I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel, which they murmur against me.

There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God. {rest: or, keeping of a sabbath}

Unto whom I sware in my wrath that they should not enter into my rest. {that...: Heb. if they enter into my rest}

(Now the Amalekites and the Canaanites dwelt in the valley.) To morrow turn you, and get you into the wilderness by the way of the Red sea.

And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that believed not?

There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God. {rest: or, keeping of a sabbath}

That by two immutable things, in which {it was} impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us:

For the children of Israel walked forty years in the wilderness, till all the people {that were} men of war, which came out of Egypt, were consumed, because they obeyed not the voice of the LORD: unto whom the LORD sware that he would not shew them the land, which the LORD sware unto their fathers that he would give us, a land that floweth with milk and honey.

For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.

Therefore he lifted up his hand against them, to overthrow them in the wilderness: {to overthrow: Heb. to make them fall}

And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that believed not?

Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left {us} of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it.

And in this {place} again, If they shall enter into my rest.

Yet also I lifted up my hand unto them in the wilderness, that I would not bring them into the land which I had given {them}, flowing with milk and honey, which {is} the glory of all lands;
