Explanation: In Hebrews 3, the author tells us to consider Christ Jesus, the Apostle and High Priest of the faith which we confess. He was faithful as Moses was faithful, but he is worthy of more glory than Moses because he built the spiritual house in which Moses was a servant. And we are Christ's house if we remain firm in th faith (1-6).
Therefore the Holy Ghost tells us not to harden our hearts as the people did in the wilderness. The Lord was grieved with them, and they died in the wilderness after 40 years without entering into the Lord's rest. So we must be on guard lest there be in us an evil heart of unbelief in departing from the living God. We should exhort one another daily against the deceitfulness of sin. For we partake of Christ if we remain confident in him until the end. So we must not harden our hearts, as the people in Moses' day did when they provoked the Lord through unbelief. They could not enter the land of rest because of their unbelief (7-19). ]

Hebrews 3
1. The Doctrine of Christ & its Implications (Hebrews 1:1 - Hebrews 10:39) - 60 A.D. Italy
1 Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus;
2 Who was faithful to him that appointed him, as also Moses was faithful in all his house.
3 For this man was counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as he who hath builded the house hath more honour than the house.
4 For every house is builded by some man; but he that built all things is God.
5 And Moses verily was faithful in all his house, as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken after;
6 But Christ as a son over his own house; whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end.
7 Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost saith, To day if ye will hear his voice,
8 Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness:
9 When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works forty years.
10 Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, They do alway err in their heart; and they have not known my ways.
11 So I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.)
12 Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God.
13 But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.
14 For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end;
15 While it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation.
16 For some, when they had heard, did provoke: howbeit not all that came out of Egypt by Moses.
17 But with whom was he grieved forty years? was it not with them that had sinned, whose carcases fell in the wilderness?
18 And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that believed not?
19 So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.
