Therefore, brothers whom God has set apart, who share in the call from heaven, think carefully about Yeshua, whom we acknowledge publicly as God's emissary and as cohen gadol.

He was faithful to God, who appointed him; just as "Moshe was faithful in all God's house."

For every house is built by someone, but the one who built everything is God.

Also, Moshe was faithful in all God's house, as a servant giving witness to things God would divulge later.

But the Messiah, as Son, was faithful over God 's house . And we are that house of his, provided we hold firmly to the courage and confidence inspired by what we hope for.

don't harden your hearts, as you did in the Bitter Quarrel on that day in the Wilderness when you put God to the test.

Watch out, brothers, so that there will not be in any one of you an evil heart lacking trust, which could lead you to apostatize from the living God!

And with whom was God disgusted for forty years ? Those who sinned — yes, they fell dead in the Wilderness !

For there is a place where it is said, concerning the seventh day, "And God rested on the seventh day from all his works."

For if Y'hoshua had given them rest, God would not have spoken later of another "day."

For the one who has enter ed God's rest has also rested from his own works , as God did from his.

See, the Word of God is alive! It is at work and is sharper than any double-edged sword — it cuts right through to where soul meets spirit and joints meet marrow, and it is quick to judge the inner reflections and attitudes of the heart.

Before God, nothing created is hidden, but all things are naked and open to the eyes of him to whom we must render an account.

Therefore, since we have a great cohen gadol who has passed through to the highest heaven, Yeshua, the Son of God, let us hold firmly to what we acknowledge as true.

Therefore, let us confidently approach the throne from which God gives grace, so that we may receive mercy and find grace in our time of need.

For every cohen gadol taken from among men is appointed to act on people's behalf with regard to things concerning God, to offer gifts and sacrifices for sins.

And no one takes this honor upon himself, rather, he is called by God, just as Aharon was.

since he had been proclaimed by God as a cohen gadol to be compared with Malki-Tzedek .

Therefore, leaving behind the initial lessons about the Messiah, let us go on to maturity, not laying again the foundation of turning from works that lead to death, trusting God,

And, God willing, this is what we will do.
