1. Therefore, holy brothers and sisters, partners in a heavenly calling, take notice of Yeshua—the Emissary and Kohen Gadol we affirm.
2. He was faithful to the One who appointed Him in His house—as was Moses also.
3. For He has been considered worthy of more glory than Moses, even 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 surely was faithful in all God’s house as a servant, for a witness of things to be spoken later.
6. But Messiah, as Son, is over God’s house—and we are His house, if we hold firm to our boldness and what we are proud to hope.
7. Therefore, just as the Ruach ha-Kodesh says, “Today if you hear His voice,
8. do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion, on the day of testing in the wilderness.
9. There your fathers put Me to the test, though they saw My works for forty years.
10. Therefore I was provoked by this generation, and I said, ‘They always go astray in their heart, and they have not known My ways.’
11. As I swore in my wrath, ‘They shall not enter My rest.’”
12. Take care, brothers and sisters, that none of you has an evil heart of unbelief that falls away from the living God.
13. But encourage one another day by day—as long as it is called “Today”—so that none of you may be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.
14. For we have become partners of Messiah, if we hold our original conviction firm until the end.
15. As it is said, “Today if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion.”
16. Now which ones heard and rebelled? Indeed, was it not all who came out of Egypt with Moses?
17. And with whom was He provoked 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 not enter His rest? Was it not to those who were disobedient?
19. So we see that they were not able to enter in because of lack of trust.
