Notes

Hebrews 3:13

The author uses the word "today" from Psalms 95:7 to urge people to remind each other daily about the misleading and toughening effects of sin.

Hebrews 3:12–19

The author of Hebrews points to important words from Psalm 95. These include heart, today, hear, enter, rest, and unbelief. In the ancient world, Bible teachers would cite a passage from the Old Testament and then explain it. They often highlighted key words from the passage, much like preachers do today. This style of explanation was called midrash (a type of Jewish Bible interpretation).

Hebrews 3:7–19

This passage serves as a warning, showing the negative example of those who wandered in the wilderness for forty years and died there. The wilderness wanderings symbolize disobedience to God and its consequences (see Numbers 32:7 –11; Deuteronomy 1:19 –35; Psalm 106:24 –26).
