“When the Lord heard your complaining, he became very angry. So he solemnly swore,
When God heard them, he was very angry, and he completely rejected Israel.
So in my anger I took an oath: ‘They will never enter my place of rest.’”
But I took a solemn oath against them in the wilderness. I swore I would not bring them into the land I had given them, a land flowing with milk and honey, the most beautiful place on earth.
But here you are, a brood of sinners, doing exactly the same thing! You are making the Lord even angrier with Israel.
And to whom was God speaking when he took an oath that they would never enter his rest? Wasn’t it the people who disobeyed him?
