Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Hebrews 4:4

For he hath said somewhere of the seventh day on this wise, And God rested on the seventh day from all his works.Genesis 2:2 is the text in the author's mind in these words; and the argument is that God's resting on the seventh day, unaccompanied by any subsequent declaration that he has left off resting, makes the rest of God still available for them that will receive it, as it has been from the time God finished creation. The rest God promised his people is thus a share of his own rest and... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Hebrews 4:5

And in this place again, They shall not enter into my rest.This quotation, as in Hebrews 4:3, is again from Psalms 95:11, serving the purpose, alongside of the quotation from Genesis 2:2, of identifying the rest spoken of here as that of God himself, following the six days of creation, and to which heavenly rest God has always invited people to come and share. To make this place any kind of an argument for people's keeping the sabbath day is to miss the entire argument of the epistle in this... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Hebrews 4:6

Seeing therefore it remaineth that some should enter thereinto, and they unto whom the good tidings were before preached failed to enter in because of disobedience.This is a summary of the argument. God desires and has purposed from all eternity that some shall enter into his rest; and, seeing that Israel did not, as proved by David's saying so in Psalms 95, the way is still open for whomsoever will accept the invitation. read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Hebrews 4:7

He again defineth a certain day, Today, saying in David so long a time afterward (even as hath been said before) Today if ye shall hear his voice, Harden not your hearts.Interrupting his chain of thought, and repeating the scriptural basis of it, he appeals again to Psalms 95:7-11, ascribed to David. The thesis turns on the fact that it was "long afterward" (about 500 years) that David urged the people AT THAT TIME, "today," to hear God's voice, to refrain from hardening their hearts, and to... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Hebrews 4:8

For if Joshua had given them rest, he would not have spoken of another day.This means that if Joshua had given the people the rest spoken of here, in that he led them into Canaan, then David would not have held it up as something yet unattained such a long time after that. The words "Jesus" and "Joshua" are one word, just as the names "Juan" and "John" are the same; and this clears up the translation of this name as "Jesus" in the KJV in this verse. However, it is plain enough that not our... read more

Hebrews 4:4. For he spake in a certain place, &c.— The supplemental nominative case here is Γραφη, the scripture, not he: or it is to be understood impersonally, as in other citations in this epistle,—It is said concerning the seventh day. It was not customaryfor the Jews, when they quoted scripture, to mention the book or chapter; for they were so familiar with the sacred writings from their infancy, that they knew where to find any passage as soon as they heard it. read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Hebrews 4:6

Hebrews 4:6. Seeing therefore it remaineth, &c.— The difficulty here is, how does it appear, from the passages cited, that any were to enter into God's rest? That the incredulous and disobedient children of Israel were not to enter into Canaan, the place of their rest, appears, because God had declared that that generation should not enter into it. But whence does it appear that any were to enter into that rest eminently so called?—The reasoning is this: 1. There is such a rest of God: this... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Hebrews 4:7

Hebrews 4:7. Again, he limiteth a certain day,— "The scripture mentions God's rest again, with a strong exhortation to the people in David's days; and he gives a strong encouragement to them not to harden their hearts: and even so many years after Moses was dead, he uses the expression to-day; which implies present time, and a rest different from that of Canaan, and what the faithful even then were to enjoy." Dr. Heylin renders this and the next verse more clearly thus: He again determines a... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Hebrews 4:4

4. he spake—God ( :-). God did rest the seventh day—a rest not ending with the seventh day, but beginning then and still continuing, into which believers shall hereafter enter. God's rest is not a rest necessitated by fatigue, nor consisting in idleness, but is that upholding and governing of which creation was the beginning [ALFORD]. Hence Moses records the end of each of the first six days, but not of the seventh. from all his works—Hebrew, Genesis 2:2, "from all His work." God's "work" was... read more
