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?

For when God made the promise to Abraham, because he could swear by no greater,

he swore by himself, Saying, Surely blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee.

For men verily swear by the greater, and an oath for confirmation is to them an end of all contradiction.

Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and which entereth into that within the veil,

but this with an oath, by him that said unto him, The Lord sware and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever, after the order of Melchisedek:)

By faith Sarah also herself received power to conceive seed, even when she was past age, because she accounted him faithful who had promised.
