Hebrews 4:3-11
New King James Version
3 For we who have believed do enter that rest, as He has said:
(A)“So I swore in My wrath,
‘They shall not enter My rest,’ ”
although the works were finished from the foundation of the world. 4 For He has spoken in a certain place of the seventh day in this way: (B)“And God rested on the seventh day from all His works”; 5 and again in this place: (C)“They shall not enter My rest.”
6 Since therefore it remains that some must enter it, and those to whom it was first preached did not enter because of disobedience, 7 again He designates a certain day, saying in David, “Today,” after such a long time, as it has been said:
(D)“Today, if you will hear His voice,
Do not harden your hearts.”
8 For if [a]Joshua had (E)given them rest, then He would not afterward have spoken of another day. 9 There remains therefore a rest for the people of God. 10 For he who has entered His rest has himself also ceased from his works as God did from His.
The Word Discovers Our Condition
11 (F)Let us therefore be diligent to enter that rest, lest anyone fall according to the same example of disobedience.

Jeremiah 31:8-9
New King James Version
8 Behold, I will bring them (A)from the north country,
And (B)gather them from the ends of the earth,
Among them the blind and the lame,
The woman with child
And the one who labors with child, together;
A great throng shall return there.
9 (C)They shall come with weeping,
And with supplications I will lead them.
I will cause them to walk (D)by the rivers of waters,
In a straight way in which they shall not stumble;
For I am a Father to Israel,
And Ephraim is My (E)firstborn.

Joshua 3:11-17
New King James Version
11 Behold, the ark of the covenant of (A)the Lord of all the earth is crossing over before you into the Jordan. 12 Now therefore, (B)take for yourselves twelve men from the tribes of Israel, one man from every tribe. 13 And it shall come to pass, (C)as soon as the soles of the feet of the priests who bear the ark of the Lord, (D)the Lord of all the earth, shall rest in the waters of the Jordan, that the waters of the Jordan shall be cut off, the waters that come down from upstream, and they (E)shall stand as a heap.”
14 So it was, when the people set out from their camp to cross over the Jordan, with the priests bearing the (F)ark of the covenant before the people, 15 and as those who bore the ark came to the Jordan, and (G)the feet of the priests who bore the ark dipped in the edge of the water (for the (H)Jordan overflows all its banks (I)during the whole time of harvest), 16 that the waters which came down from upstream stood still, and rose in a heap very far away [a]at Adam, the city that is beside (J)Zaretan. So the waters that went down (K)into the Sea of the Arabah, (L)the Salt Sea, failed, and were cut off; and the people crossed over opposite Jericho. 17 Then the priests who bore the ark of the covenant of the Lord stood firm on dry ground in the midst of the Jordan; (M)and all Israel crossed over on dry ground, until all the people had crossed completely over the Jordan.

Do not come near it, that you may know the way by which you must go, for you have not passed this way before.”
5 And Joshua said to the people, (E)“Sanctify[b] yourselves, for tomorrow the Lord will do wonders among you.” 6 Then Joshua spoke to the priests, saying, (F)“Take up the ark of the covenant and cross over before the people.”
So they took up the ark of the covenant and went before the people.
