3:1 Therefore, holy brothers and sisters, partners in a heavenly calling, take notice of Yeshua—the Emissary and Kohen Gadol we affirm.
3:2 He was faithful to the One who appointed Him in His house—as was Moses also.
3:3 For He has been considered worthy of more glory than Moses, even as the builder of the house has more honor than the house.
3:4 For every house is built by someone, but the builder of all things is God.
3:5 Now Moses surely was faithful in all God’s house as a servant, for a witness of things to be spoken later.
3:6 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.
3:7 Therefore, just as the Ruach ha-Kodesh says, “Today if you hear His voice,
3:8 do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion, on the day of testing in the wilderness.
3:9 There your fathers put Me to the test, though they saw My works for forty years.
3:10 Therefore I was provoked by this generation, and I said, ‘They always go astray in their heart, and they have not known My ways.’
3:11 As I swore in my wrath, ‘They shall not enter My rest.’”
3:12 Take care, brothers and sisters, that none of you has an evil heart of unbelief that falls away from the living God.
3:13 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.
3:14 For we have become partners of Messiah, if we hold our original conviction firm until the end.
3:15 As it is said, “Today if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion.”
3:16 Now which ones heard and rebelled? Indeed, was it not all who came out of Egypt with Moses?
3:17 And with whom was He provoked for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness?
3:18 And to whom did He swear that they would not enter His rest? Was it not to those who were disobedient?
3:19 So we see that they were not able to enter in because of lack of trust.
