Hebrews 4 is the fourth chapter of the Epistle to the Hebrews in the New Testament of the Christian Bible. The author is anonymous, although the internal reference to "our brother Timothy" ( Hebrews 13:23) causes a traditional attribution to Paul, but this attribution has been disputed since the second century and there is no decisive evidence for the authorship. [1] [2] This chapter contains the admonition to press on toward 'God's Rest' and a reflection on the power of God's Word. [3] [4]

Text

The original text was written in Koine Greek. This chapter is divided into 16 verses.

Old Testament references

A call to faithfulness (3:7–4:13)

Verse 7

again He designates a certain day, saying in David, "Today," after such a long time, as it has been said:
"Today, if you will hear His voice,
Do not harden your hearts." [7]

The Hebrew version of Psalm 95 names no author, but David is explicitly said to have written these words from Psalm 95:7–8, which happened long after the Israelites already enjoyed rest and were established in Canaan under the leadership of Joshua. [8] Therefore, this day ("Today") is another day in the future for God's people to enter a heavenly rest, beyond the enjoyment of life in the land of Israel. [9]

Verse 8

For if Joshua had given them rest, then He would not afterward have spoken of another day. [10]

The "rest" experienced by the Israelites in the time of Joshua was 'an earthly anticipation of the ultimate, heavenly rest', an old covenant promise that is fulfilled in a transformed way by Jesus Christ. [9]

Verse 9

So there remains a Sabbath rest for the people of God. [11]


Verse 10

Those who entered his place of rest also rest from their work as God did from his. [12]


Verse 11

Let us try as hard as we can to enter God’s rest so that no one will fail by following the example of those who refused to obey. [13]


Verse 12

For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. [14]


Verse 13

Nothing in all creation is hidden from God. Everything is naked and exposed before his eyes, and he is the one to whom we are accountable. [15]

The compassion of Christ (4:14–5:10)

The characteristic term of this section is 'High Priest', which links to the beginning of the previous section ( 3:1; cf. 2:17) as an introduction to the new segment. [9]

Verse 15

For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin. [16]
