Hebrews 3:15-19
3:15 As it says, 1 “Oh, that today you would listen as he speaks! 2 Do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion.” 3
3:16 For which ones heard and rebelled? Was it not all who came out of Egypt under Moses’ leadership? 4
3:17 And against whom was God 5 provoked for forty years? Was it not those who sinned, whose dead bodies fell in the wilderness? 6
3:18 And to whom did he swear they would never enter into his rest, except those who were disobedient?
3:19 So 7 we see that they could not enter because of unbelief.
