Hebrews 4
4
1Therefore, let us walk in yir'at Shomayim, for fear that, while the havtachah (promise) of entering the menuchah of Hashem is still open, anyone of you should seem to have fallen short of it.
2For indeed we have had Besuras HaGeulah preached to us, just as they did also; but the Dvar Hashem preached did not make that generation benefit, because hearing did not form an agudah with emunah.#4:2 faith
3For we ma'aminim#4:3 in Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach enter into that menuchah, just as Hashem has said, ASHER NISHBA'TI V'API IM YEVO'UN EL MENUCHATI#4:3 Ps 95:11 (As I vowed in My fury, they shall never enter into My rest), although the ma'asim (works) of Hashem were finished from the hivvased tevel (foundation of the world).
4For concerning Shabbos, the Yom HaShevi'i, Hashem has said somewhere, VAYISHBOT Elohim BAYOM HASHEVI'I MIKOL MELAKHTO (And He rested on the seventh day from all His work).#4:4 Gn 2:2
5And again in this mekor (passage, citation), IM YEVO'UN EL MENUCHATI#4:5 Ps 95:11 (Never shall they enter into My rest).
6Therefore, als (since) it remains for some to enter it, and the ones, who formerly had the Besuras HaGeulah preached to them, did not enter, because they were koferim (unbelievers),
7So then again Hashem sets a certain day, “HAYOM”#4:7 Ps 95:7 (Today) in one of the Tehillim of Dovid,#4:7 HaMelech much later, in that quoted above, “HAYOM IM BEKOLO TISHMAU AL TAKSHU LEVAVCHEM”#4:7 Ps 95:7f (Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your heart).
8For if Yehoshua#4:8 ben Nun had brought them to a place of menuchah (rest), Hashem would not have spoken of another “Yom” after that.#4:8 Ps 95:7
9Therefore, there remains a Shabbos menuchah for the Am Hashem.
10For whoever has entered into the menuchah of Hashem has also rested from#4:10 depending on the zokheh (merit) of his ma'asim, just as Hashem rested from his.
11Therefore, let us have zerizut (diligence) to enter into that menuchah, for fear that anyone fall through following be'ikvot (in the footsteps) of their same lack of mishma'at (obedience).#4:11 cf. 3:17-18; 4:6
12For the Dvar Hashem is chai (living) and chazak (strong), sharper than every double-edged cherev and penetrating as far as the division of nefesh and ruach, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the machshavot and deliberations of the kavanat halev (the inner directedness of the heart).
13And there is not nivra (anything created) nistar (hidden) from His sight, but all things are laid bare and exposed to the eynayim (eyes) of Him to whom we must render an account.
14Therefore, als (since) we have a great Kohen Gadol who has made his passing through Shomayim,#4:14 Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua Zun fun der Oybershter, let us hold firmly to the hoda'ah (confession) of the hachrazah (proclamation) of our#4:14 Orthodox Jewish Emunah.
15For we do not have a Kohen Gadol who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who has been tempted in every way as we are, yet without chet.#4:15 T.N. tempted in every way as we are, yet without chet, means chet as inborn and immemorial yetzer hara (evil inclination) which is Chet Kadmon (Original Sin) whose power and control is passed down to Bnei Adam from Adam, Ro 3:9; Ro 5:12 — see Orthodox Jewish Bible Introduction on Moshiach Immanu-El Ben HaAlmah uncontaminated by Chet Kadmon
16Therefore, let us approach with bitachon the Kisse of Chesed, that we may receive rachamim and may find chesed for timely ezrah (aid).

Hebrews 4
4
The Rest that Remains for the People of God
1 Therefore let us fear, while there#*Here “while” is supplied as a component of the participle (“remains”) which is understood as temporal remains a promise of entering into his rest, that none of you appear to fall short of it. 2For we also have had the good news proclaimed to us#Literally “for we are also having had the good news proclaimed”, just as those also did, but the message they heard#Literally “of hearing” did not benefit them, because they#*Here “because” is supplied as a component of the participle (“united”) which is understood as causal were not united with those who heard it in faith. 3For we who have believed enter into rest,#Some manuscripts have “that rest” just as he has said,
“As I swore in my anger,
‘They will never enter#Literally “if they will enter” into my rest.’ ”#A quotation from Ps 95:11
And yet these works have been accomplished from the foundation of the world. 4For he has spoken somewhere about the seventh day in this way: “And God rested on the seventh day from all his works,”#A quotation from Gen 2:2 5and in this passage again, ‘They will never enter#Literally “if they will enter” into my rest.’ ”#A quotation from Ps 95:11 6Since therefore it remains for some to enter into it, and the ones to whom the good news was proclaimed previously did not enter because of disobedience, 7again he ordains a certain day, today, speaking by David after so long a time, just as had been said before,
“Today, if you hear his voice,
do not harden your hearts.”#A quotation from Ps 95:7b-8 (see also Heb 3:7–8, 15)
8For if Joshua had caused them to rest, he would not have spoken about another day after these things. 9Consequently a sabbath rest remains for the people of God. 10For the one who has entered into his rest has also himself rested from his works, just as God did from his own works.
11Therefore, let us make every effort to enter into that rest, in order that no one may fall in the same pattern of disobedience. 12For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any double-edged sword, and piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit, both joints and marrow, and able to judge the reflections and thoughts of the heart. 13And no creature is hidden in the sight of him, but all things are naked and laid bare to the eyes of him to whom we must give our account#Literally “our account”.
Jesus Our Great High Priest
14Therefore, because we have a great high priest who has gone through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast to our confession. 15For we do not have a high priest who is not able to sympathize with our weaknesses, but who has been tempted in all things in the same way, without sin. 16Therefore let us approach with confidence to the throne of grace, in order that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
