Hebrews 3:11

3:11As I swore in my anger,They will never enter my rest!’”

Psalms 95:11

95:11 So I made a vow in my anger,

‘They will never enter into the resting place I had set aside for them.’”


tn Grk “if they shall enter my rest,” a Hebrew idiom expressing an oath that something will certainly not happen.

tn Heb “my resting place.” The promised land of Canaan is here viewed metaphorically as a place of rest for God’s people, who are compared to sheep (see v. 7).
