Hebrews 4:4

4 dixit enim quodam loco de die septima sic et requievit Deus die septima ab omnibus operibus suis

Hebrews 4:4 Meaning and Commentary

Hebrews 4:4

For he spake in a certain place
( Genesis 2:2 ) that is, Moses, the penman of that book spoke, or God by him:

of the seventh day on this wise;
of the seventh day of the world, or from the creation of the heavens and the earth:

and God did rest the seventh day from all his works:
of creation, but not of providence; for in them he works hitherto; nor does this rest suppose labour with fatigue and weariness, and ease and refreshment from it; only cessation from working in a creative way, and the utmost delight, complacency and satisfaction in what he had done. The Alexandrian copy leaves out the phrase, "the seventh day".

Hebrews 4:4 In-Context

2 etenim et nobis nuntiatum est quemadmodum et illis sed non profuit illis sermo auditus non admixtis fidei ex his quae audierunt

3 ingrediemur enim in requiem qui credidimus quemadmodum dixit sicut iuravi in ira mea si introibunt in requiem meam et quidem operibus ab institutione mundi factis

4 dixit enim quodam loco de die septima sic et requievit Deus die septima ab omnibus operibus suis

5 et in isto rursum si introibunt in requiem meam

6 quoniam ergo superest quosdam introire in illam et hii quibus prioribus adnuntiatum est non introierunt propter incredulitatem
