Hebreus 3:18

18 E a quem jurou que nunca haveriam de entrar no seu descanso? Não foi àqueles que foram desobedientes?[a]

Hebreus 3:18 Meaning and Commentary

Hebrews 3:18

And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his
rest
As in ( Psalms 95:11 ) (See Gill on Hebrews 3:11),

but to them that believed not?
the Lord; notwithstanding the signs and wonders he showed among them, they would not be persuaded by Moses and Aaron, by Joshua and Caleb, to be still and quiet, to cease murmuring, and submit to the will of God, and believe in him; they were disobedient, stubborn, and rebellious, and would go up, when they were bid not to go up; for which reason God swore in his wrath that they should not enter into the good land. Unbelief is a source of sin, and cause of judgment, being greatly provoking to God.

Hebreus 3:18 In-Context

16 Quem foram os que ouviram e se rebelaram? Não foram todos os que Moisés tirou do Egito?
17 Contra quem Deus esteve irado durante quarenta anos? Não foi contra aqueles que pecaram, cujos corpos caíram no deserto?
18 E a quem jurou que nunca haveriam de entrar no seu descanso? Não foi àqueles que foram desobedientes?
19 Vemos, assim, que por causa da incredulidade não puderam entrar.
