希伯来书 4:8 Meaning and Commentary

Hebrews 4:8

For if Jesus had given them rest
That is, Joshua; for Hosheah, Joshua, and Jesus, are one and the same name; or Jesus himself, as two of Stephens's copies read; and so Joshua is called Jesus by the Septuagint interpreters on ( Exodus 17:10 ) ( 24:13 ) and other places where he is mentioned; and also, by Josephus ^F8, and Philo

FOOTNOTES:

F9 the Jew. The Syriac version, lest any should mistake this for Jesus Christ, adds, "the son of Nun": who is certainly the person designed, as the apostle's reasoning shows; who was an eminent type of Jesus Christ: there is an agreement in their names, both signify a saviour, Joshua was a temporal saviour, Christ a spiritual one; and in their office they were both servants; and in their qualifications for their office, such as wisdom, courage, faithfulness, and integrity. Joshua was a type of Christ in many actions of his life; in the miracles he wrought, or were wrought for him; in the battles he fought, and the victories he obtained; in saving Rahab and her family; in receiving the Gibeonites, who came submissively to him; and in leading the children of Israel into Canaan's land, which he divided to them by lot: but though he brought them into a land of rest, into the typical rest, where they had rest for a while from their temporal enemies, yet he did not give them the true spiritual rest: had he,

then would he not afterward have spoken of another day;
that is, God, in David's time, and by him, would not have so long after appointed another day of rest; meaning, not any particular day of the week, but the whole Gospel dispensation, in the times of the Messiah; wherefore the apostle concludes as follows.

希伯来书 4:8 In-Context

6 既 有 必 进 安 息 的 人 ， 那 先 前 听 见 福 音 的 ， 因 为 不 信 从 ， 不 得 进 去 。

7 所 以 过 了 多 年 ， 就 在 大 卫 的 书 上 ， 又 限 定 一 日 ， 如 以 上 所 引 的 说 ： 你 们 今 日 若 听 他 的 话 ， 就 不 可 硬 着 心 。

8 若 是 约 书 亚 已 叫 他 们 享 了 安 息 ， 後 来 神 就 不 再 提 别 的 日 子 了 。

9 这 样 看 来 ， 必 另 有 一 安 息 日 的 安 息 为 神 的 子 民 存 留 。

10 因 为 那 进 入 安 息 的 ， 乃 是 歇 了 自 己 的 工 ， 正 如 神 歇 了 他 的 工 一 样 。
