• Jesus Greater than Moses

  • 1 Therefore, holy brothers, partakers of a heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession—Jesus,
  • 2 who was faithful to Him who appointed Him, as Moses also was in all His house.
  • 3 For He has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses, in so much as the builder of the house has more honor than the house.
  • 4 For every house is built by someone, but the builder of all things is God.
  • 5 Now Moses was faithful in all His house as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken later,
  • 6 but Christ was faithful as a Son over His house—whose house we are, if we hold fast our confidence and the boast of our hope.
  • 7 Therefore, just as the Holy Spirit says, “Today if you hear His voice,
  • 8 Do not harden your hearts as when they provoked Me, As in the day of trial in the wilderness,
  • 9 Where your fathers tried Me by testing Me, And saw My works for forty years.
  • 10 “Therefore I was angry with this generation, And said, ‘They always go astray in their heart, And they did not know My ways’;
  • 11 As I swore in My wrath, ‘They shall not enter My rest.’”

  • Warning Against Unbelief

  • 12 See to it brothers, that there not be in any one of you an evil, unbelieving heart that falls away from the living God.
  • 13 But encourage one another day after day, as long as it is still called “Today,” so that none of you will be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.
  • 14 For we have become partakers of Christ, if we hold fast the beginning of our assurance firm until the end,
  • 15 while it is said, “Today if you hear His voice, Do not harden your hearts, as when they provoked Me.”
  • 16 For who provoked Him when they had heard? Indeed, did not all those who came out of Egypt led by Moses?
  • 17 And with whom was He angry for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose corpses fell in the wilderness?
  • 18 And to whom did He swear that they would not enter His rest, but to those who were disobedient?
  • 19 So we see that they were not able to enter because of unbelief.
