Jesus and Moses

1Therefore, holy brethren, who share in a heavenly call, consider Jesus, the apostle and high priest of our confession. 23.2: Num 12.7.He was faithful to him who appointed him, just as Moses also was faithful in3.2 Other ancient authorities insert all God's house. 3Yet Jesus has been counted worthy of as much more glory than Moses as the builder of a house has more honour than the house. 4(For every house is built by some one, but the builder of all things is God.) 53.5: Num 12.7.Now Moses was faithful in all God's house as a servant, to testify to the things that were to be spoken later, 6but Christ was faithful over God's3.6 Greek his house as a son. And we are his house if we hold fast our confidence and pride in our hope.3.6 Other ancient authorities insert firm to the end

73.7-11: Ps 95.7-11.Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says,

“Today, when you hear his voice,

8do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion,

on the day of testing in the wilderness,

9where your fathers put me to the test

and saw my works for forty years.

10Therefore I was provoked with that generation,

and said, ‘They always go astray in their hearts;

they have not known my ways.’

11As I swore in my wrath,

‘They shall never enter my rest.’ ”

12Take care, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil, unbelieving heart, leading you to fall away from the living God. 13But exhort one another every day, as long as it is called “today,” that none of you may be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin. 14For we share in Christ, if only we hold our first confidence firm to the end, 153.15: Ps 95.7-8.while it is said,

“Today, when you hear his voice,

do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion.”

163.16-19: Num 14.1-35.Who were they that heard and yet were rebellious? Was it not all those who left Egypt under the leadership of Moses? 173.17: Num 14.29.And with whom was he provoked forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness? 18And to whom did he swear that they should never enter his rest, but to those who were disobedient? 19So we see that they were unable to enter because of unbelief.
