Book ◦ Chapter

There remains, then,
This phrase indicates a continuation or conclusion from previous arguments. The author of Hebrews has been discussing the concept of rest, drawing from the Old Testament narrative of the Israelites and their journey to the Promised Land. The use of "remains" suggests that this rest is still available and has not been fully realized by the people of God. It implies a promise that is ongoing and accessible.

a Sabbath rest
The term "Sabbath rest" is unique and signifies more than just a physical rest. It draws from the creation account inGenesis 2:2-3, where God rested on the seventh day, setting a pattern for humanity. This rest is not merely about ceasing from work but entering into a state of spiritual peace and fulfillment. It also connects to the Mosaic Law, where the Sabbath was a sign of the covenant between God and Israel (Exodus 31:16-17). Theologically, it points to a deeper, eschatological rest that believers anticipate, a rest that is fulfilled in Christ, who offers rest for the soul (Matthew 11:28-30).

for the people of God.
This phrase identifies the recipients of the Sabbath rest. In the context of Hebrews, "the people of God" refers to those who have faith in Jesus Christ, both Jews and Gentiles, who are grafted into the spiritual lineage of Abraham (Galatians 3:7-9). Historically, the people of God were the Israelites, but the New Covenant expands this to include all who believe in Christ. This rest is a promise for the community of believers, emphasizing the unity and inclusivity of God's promise. It also serves as a reminder of the covenant relationship between God and His people, highlighting the faithfulness of God in fulfilling His promises.

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers

(9)There remaineth therefore.--Or,therefore there is (still)left: the word is the same as inHebrews 4:6. It is tacitly assumed that no subsequent fulfilment has altered the relation of the promise. Few things in the Epistle are more striking than the constant presentation of the thought that Scripture language ispermanent and at all timespresent. The implied promise, therefore, repeated whenever the "to-day" is heard, must have its fulfilment. The rescued people of Israel did indeed find a rest in Canaan: the true redeemed "people of God" shall rest with God.

A rest.--As the margin points out, the word is suddenly changed. As the rest promised to God's people is a rest with God, it is to them "a sabbath-rest." So one of the treatises of the Mishna speaks of Psalms 92 as a "Psalm for the time to come, for the day which is all Sabbath, the rest belonging to the life eternal."
