Hebrews 3:16

MosesEgypt

14 We have come to share in Christ if we hold firmly to the end the assurance we had at first.

15 As it has been said: “Today, if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts, as you did in the rebellion.”

For who were the ones who heard and rebelled? Were they not all those Moses led out of Egypt?

17 And with whom was God angry for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness?

18 And to whom did He swear that they would never enter His rest? Was it not to those who disobeyed?
