1Therefore, brothers in the family of God, who share a heavenly calling, think of the Apostle and High Priest of the religion we profess, 2 [ Lv.12.7. ] who was faithful to God who appointed him. Moses also was faithful in God's household; 3and Jesus, of whom I speak, has been deemed worthy of greater honour than Moses, as the founder of a house enjoys more honour than his household. 4For every house has its founder; and the founder of all is God. 5Moses, then, was faithful as a servitor in God's whole household; his task was to bear witness to the words that God would speak; 6but Christ is faithful as a son, set over his household. And we are that household of his, if only we are fearless and keep our hope high.
7'TODAY', THEREFORE, as the Holy Spirit says—
15 [ Ps.95.7-8. ] When Scripture says, 'Today if you hear his voice, do not grow stubborn as in those days of rebellion', 16who, I ask, were those who heard and rebelled? All those, surely, whom Moses had led out of Egypt. 17 [ Lv.14.29. ] And with whom was God indignant for forty years? With those, surely, who had sinned, whose bodies lay where they fell in the desert. 18 [ Lv.14.22-23. ] And to whom did he vow that they should not enter his rest, if not to those who had refused to believe? 19We perceive that it was unbelief which prevented their entering.
