|
|
9 where your fathers tested [me] by trial and saw my works
|
9 where your fathers tested and tried me and for forty years saw what I did.
|
|
10 [for] forty years. Therefore I was angry with this generation, and I said, 'They always go astray in their heart, and they do not know my ways.'
|
10 That is why I was angry with that generation, and I said, 'Their hearts are always going astray, and they have not known my ways.'
|
|
11 As I swore in my anger, '{They will never enter} into my rest.'"
|
11 So I declared on oath in my anger, 'They shall never enter my rest.' "
|
|
12 Watch out, brothers, lest there be in some of you an evil, unbelieving heart, [with the result that you] fall away from the living God.
|
12 See to it, brothers, that none of you has a sinful, unbelieving heart that turns away from the living God.
|
|
13 But encourage one another {day by day}, as long as it is called "today," so that {none of you become hardened} by the deception of sin.
|
13 But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called Today, so that none of you may be hardened by sin's deceitfulness.

14 For we have become partners of Christ, if indeed we hold fast the beginning of [our] commitment steadfast until the end,
|
14 We have come to share in Christ if we hold firmly till the end the confidence we had at first.

|
|
16 For who, [when they] heard [it], were disobedient? Surely [it was] not all who went out from Egypt through Moses?
|
16 Who were they who heard and rebelled? Were they not all those Moses led out of Egypt?
|
|
17 And with whom was he angry [for] forty years? [Was it] not with those who sinned, whose dead bodies fell in the wilderness?
|
17 And with whom was he angry for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose bodies fell in the desert?
|
|
18 And to whom did he swear [they would] not enter into his rest, except those who were disobedient?
|
18 And to whom did God swear that they would never enter his rest if not to those who disobeyed ?
|

|
19 So we see that they were not able to enter, because of their unbelief.
