Thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet. Now in putting all things in subjection under him, he left nothing that is not put under him: but now we do not yet see all things put under him.

So I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.

Whose carcases fell in the wilderness? And to whom sware he, that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that believed not?
