Psalms 95:11

“Unto whom I sware in my wrath, etc.] Being angry with them, he sware for the confirmation of what he said; the form of the oath was, “as truly as I live”; he sware by himself, for he could swear by no greater; (see <041421> Numbers 14:21-23,28-30,35) that they should not enter into my rest; the land of Canaan, or Israel, as Kimchi; which the Lord provided, promised, and gave to the Israelites, as their rest; the land of Israel and Jerusalem, as Jarchi; or the house of the sanctuary, the temple, as the Targum; which Jehovah chose for his rest, and took it up in it, and where he promised the Messiah, the Prince of peace, who gives to his people spiritual and eternal rest.

The Lord promised them the land and gave it to them (Isa 28:12), but they did not obey him (Isa 28:1).

The author of Hebrews challenged a new generation to enter the rest provided by Jesus Christ (Heb 3:7–4:13).”

“I sware: Num 14:23, Num 14:28-30; Deu 1:34, Deu 1:35; Heb 3:11, Heb 3:18, Heb 4:3, Heb 4:5 that they should not enter: Heb. if they enter my rest: Gen 2:2, Gen 2:3; Jer 6:16; Mat 11:28, Mat 11:29; Hos 4:4-11; Rev 14:13 Next: Psalms Chapter 96”
