Hebreos 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.

Hebreos 4:8 In-Context

6 Así que el descanso de Dios está disponible para que la gente entre, pero los primeros en oír esta buena noticia no entraron, porque desobedecieron a Dios.
7 Entonces Dios fijó otro tiempo para entrar en su descanso, y ese tiempo es hoy. Lo anunció mucho más tarde por medio de David en las palabras que ya se han citado:
«Cuando oigan hoy su voz
no endurezcan el corazón»
.
8 Ahora bien, si Josué hubiera logrado darles ese descanso, Dios no habría hablado de otro día de descanso aún por venir.
9 Así que todavía hay un descanso especial
en espera para el pueblo de Dios.
10 Pues todos los que han entrado en el descanso de Dios han descansado de su trabajo, tal como Dios descansó del suyo después de crear el mundo.
