This is still a very early look into the unfinished text of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check the text in advance before using in public.
3:1 Yeshua is greater than Moses
3 Therefore, godly brothers and sisters, who share in the heavenly calling, consider Yeshua, who we acknowledge as our missionary and high priest, 2 how he was faithful to God who appointed him, just as Moses was faithful in God’s house.[ref] 3 Yeshua was considered worthy of more honour than Moses, just like the builder of a house is honoured more than the house itself, 4 because every house is made by someone, but the one who made everything is God. 5 On one hand, Moses was faithful in all of his house, thus serving as a testimony for what was yet to be told, 6 and on the other hand, Messiah was the son over his house, which is us if we retain our confidence and the expectation of our hope.
3:7 Warning against unbelief
7 Therefore the holy spirit says:[ref]
8 don’t harden your hearts as you did in the rebellion,
in the time of testing in the wilderness
9 where your ancestors tested me through trials,
although they saw my actions 10 over forty years.
That’s why I was angry with that generation and I said:
‘They’re always straying in their hearts and they don’t really know my ways.’
11 As I decided in my severe anger:
‘They will never be entering into my peace.’
12 Brothers and sisters, watch out in case any of you has an evil heart with unbelief which leads you to withdraw from the living God. 13 Instead urge yourselves on throughout each day (while it’s still called ‘today’) so that some of you won’t become hardened by the sin’s seduction 14 because we are now partakers of the messiah if we can retain until the end the assurance that we had at the beginning. 15 As it’s been said:[ref]
‘Today if you all hear his voice,
don’t harden your hearts as you did when you rebelled.’
16 Did some people heard and yet rebel? Didn’t Moses lead all of the people out of Egypt?[ref] 17 Who was he angry with for forty years? Wasn’t it the people who disobeyed God and who died there in the wilderness? 18 And who did God promise that they wouldn’t enter his rest, if it wasn’t the people who disbelieved? 19 So we can now see that they weren’t able to enter the promised land because of their unbelief.
