So in my anger I swore a solemn oath that they would never enter my rest."

And to whom did he swear that they would never enter his rest? It was to those who disobeyed him, was it not?

We who have believed are entering that rest, just as he has said, "So in my anger I swore a solemn oath that they would never enter my rest,"

For when God made his promise to Abraham, he swore an oath by himself, since he had no one greater to swear by.

For people swear by someone greater than themselves, and an oath given as confirmation puts an end to all argument.

By faith Sarah, even though she was old and barren, received the strength to conceive, because she was convinced that the one who had made the promise was faithful.

Pray for us, for we are sure that we have a clear conscience and desire to live honorably in every way.
