Contextual Overview

¹ Now, since God has left us the promise that we may enter his rest, let us be very careful so none of you will fail to enter. ² The Good News was preached to us just as it was to them. But the teaching they heard did not help them, because they heard it but did not accept it with faith. ³ We who have believed are able to enter and have God's rest. As God has said, "I was angry and made a promise, ‘They will never enter my rest.'" Psalm 95:11 But God's work was finished from the time he made the world. ⁴ In the Scriptures he talked about the seventh day of the week: "And on the seventh day God rested from all his works." ⁵ And again in the Scripture God said, "They will never enter my rest." ⁶ It is still true that some people will enter God's rest, but those who first heard the way to be saved did not enter, because they did not obey. ⁷ So God planned another day, called "today." He spoke about that day through David a long time later in the same Scripture used before: "Today listen to what he says. Do not be stubborn." Psalm 95:7–8 ⁸ We know that Joshua did not lead the people into that rest, because God spoke later about another day. ⁹ This shows that the rest for God's people is still coming. ¹⁰ Anyone who enters God's rest will rest from his work as God did.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

For he spake in a certain place,.... Genesis 2:2 that is, Moses, the penman of that book spoke, or God by him:

of the seventh day on this wise; of the seventh day of the world, or from the creation of the heavens and the earth:

and God did rest the seventh day from all his works: of creation, but not of providence; for in them he works hitherto; nor does this rest suppose labour with fatigue and weariness, and ease and refreshment from it; only cessation from working in a creative way, and the utmost delight, complacency and satisfaction in what he had done. The Alexandrian copy leaves out the phrase, "the seventh day".

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

For he spake - Genesis 2:2. “And God did rest.” “At the close of the work of creation he rested. The work was done. “That” was the rest of God. He was happy in the contemplation of his own works; and he instituted that day to be observed as a memorial of “his” resting from his works, and as a “type” of the eternal rest which remained for man.” The idea is this, that the notion of “rest” of some kind runs through all dispensations. It was seen in the finishing of the work of creation; seen in the appointment of the Sabbath; seen in the offer of the promised land, and is seen now in the promise of heaven. All dispensations contemplate “rest,” and there must be such a prospect before man now. When it is said that “God did rest,” of course it does not mean that he was wearied with his toil, but merely that he “ceased” from the stupendous work of creation. He no more put forth creative energy, but calmly contemplated his own works in their beauty and grandeur; Genesis 1:31. In carrying forward the great affairs of the universe, he always has been. actively employed John 5:17, but he is not employed in the work of “creation” properly so called. That is done; and the sublime cessation from that constitutes the “rest of God.”

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Hebrews 4:4. For he spake in a certain place — This certain place or somewhere, που, is probably Genesis 2:2; and refers to the completion of the work of creation, and the setting apart the seventh day as a day of rest for man, and a type of everlasting felicity. See the notes on "Genesis 2:1", &c., and see here "Hebrews 2:6".
