¹⁵ until the Lord has given your brethren rest, as He gave you, and they also have taken possession of the land which the Lord your God is giving them. ^(A)Then you shall return to the land of your possession and enjoy it, which Moses the Lord’s servant gave you on this side of the Jordan toward the sunrise.”

⁴ And now the Lord your God has given ^(A)rest to your brethren, as He promised them; now therefore, return and go to your tents and to the land of your possession, ^(B)which Moses the servant of the Lord gave you on the other side of the Jordan.

⁹ for as yet you have not come to the ^(A)rest^[a] and the inheritance which the Lord your God is giving you.

The Heavenly Hope

¹³ These all died in faith, ^(A)not having received the ^(B)promises, but ^(C)having seen them afar off ^[a]were assured of them, embraced them and ^(D)confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth. ¹⁴ For those who say such things ^(E)declare plainly that they seek a homeland. ¹⁵ And truly if they had called to mind ^(F)that country from which they had come out, they would have had opportunity to return.
