The In-Dept Study of the Bible
Hebrews 03
1 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 also Moses was in all his house.
3 For he has been counted worthy of
more glory than Moses, because he who
built the house has more honor than the
house.
4 For every house is built by someone;
but he who built all things is God.
5 Moses indeed was faithful in all his
house as a servant, for a testimony ofthose
things which were afterward to be spoken,
6 but Christ† is faithful as a Son over his
house. We are his house, if we hold fast our
confidence and the glorying of our hope
firm to the end.
7 Therefore, even as the Holy Spirit says,
“Today if you will hear his voice,
8 don’t harden your hearts as in the
rebellion, inthe day ofthe trialinthe
wilderness,
9 where your fathers tested me and
tried me, and saw my deeds for forty years.
10 Therefore I was displeased with that
generation, and said, ‘They always err in their
heart, but they didn’t know my ways.’
11 As I swore in my wrath,
‘They will not enter into my rest.’ ”*
12 Beware, brothers, lest perhaps there
might be in any one of you an evil heart
of unbelief, in falling away from the living
God;
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.
14 For we have become partakers of
Christ, if we hold the beginning of our
confidence firm to the end,
15 while it is said, “Today if you will hear his voice,
don’t harden your hearts, as in the rebellion.”*
16 For who, when they heard, rebelled?
Wasn’t it all those who came out of Egypt
led by Moses?
17 With whom was he displeased forty
years? Wasn’t it with those who sinned,
whose bodies fell in the wilderness?
18 To whom did he swear that they
wouldn’t enter into his rest, but to those
who were disobedient?
19 We see that they weren’t able to enter
in because of unbelief.
