Therefore, since it remains for some to enter it, and those who formerly received the good news did not enter because of disobedience,(A) he again specifies a certain day—today. He specified this speaking through David after such a long time:

Today, if you hear his voice,
do not harden your hearts.[a](B)

For if Joshua(C) had given them rest, God would not have spoken later about another day. Therefore, a Sabbath rest remains for God’s people. 10 For the person who has entered his rest has rested from his own works, just as God did from his.(D) 11 Let us, then, make every effort to enter that rest, so that no one will fall into the same pattern of disobedience.

  1. 4:7 Ps 95:7–8

Since therefore it remains open for some to enter it and those who formerly received the good news failed to enter because of disobedience, again he sets a certain day—“today”—saying through David much later, in the words already quoted,

“Today, if you hear his voice,
do not harden your hearts.”(A)

For if Joshua had given them rest, God[a] would not speak later about another day. So then, a Sabbath rest still remains for the people of God, 10 for those who enter God’s[b] rest also rest from their labors as God did from his. 11 Let us therefore make every effort to enter that rest, so that no one may fall through such disobedience as theirs.
