Hebrews 4:5-7
New English Translation
5 but to repeat the text cited earlier:[a] “They will never enter my rest!” 6 Therefore it remains for some to enter it, yet those to whom it was previously proclaimed did not enter because of disobedience. 7 So God[b] again ordains a certain day, “Today,” speaking through David[c] after so long a time, as in the words quoted before,[d] “Oh, that today you would listen as he speaks![e] Do not harden your hearts.”

- Hebrews 4:5 tn Grk “and in this again.”

Yet the Greek inscription for Ps 95 in the LXX credits the psalm to David, and the author of Hebrews frequently uses the LXX.
- Hebrews 4:7 tn Grk “as it has been said before” (see Heb 3:7).
- Hebrews 4:7 tn Grk “today if you hear his voice.”

5 And in this place again, If they shall enter into my rest.
6 Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter therein, and they to whom it was first preached entered not in because of unbelief:
