Hebreeën 3:11 Meaning and Commentary

Hebrews 3:11

So I sware in my wrath
Swearing is ascribed to God, to show the certainty of the thing spoken of; as of mercies, when he swears in love, and by his holiness; so here, of punishment, when he swears in wrath, in indignation, in sore displeasure, and the threatened evil is irrevocable and inevitable:

they shall not enter into my rest;
into the land of Canaan, called God's rest, because he promised it, and gave it to the Israelites as their rest; and where he himself had a place of rest; and where he gave the Messiah, the author of peace and rest; and which was a type of heaven, that rest from toil and labour, which remains for the people of God; and into which it is said this generation did not enter; for the Jews say F6,

``the generation of the wilderness have no part in the world to come:''

but this seems too harsh, for doubtless there were many who died in the wilderness, that went safe to heaven, notwithstanding all their sins and provocations.

Hebreeën 3:11 In-Context

9 Alwaar Mij uw vaders verzocht hebben; zij hebben Mij beproefd, en hebben Mijn werken gezien, veertig jaren lang.
10 Daarom was Ik vertoornd over dat geslacht, en sprak: Altijd dwalen zij met het hart, en zij hebben Mijn wegen niet gekend.
11 Zo heb Ik dan gezworen in Mijn toorn; Indien zij in Mijn rust zullen ingaan!
12 Ziet toe, broeders, dat niet te eniger tijd in iemand van u zij een boos, ongelovig hart, om af te wijken van den levenden God;
13 Maar vermaant elkander te allen dage, zolang als het heden genaamd wordt, opdat niet iemand uit u verhard worde door de verleiding der zonde.
