Hebrews 3:17

“With whom was he displeased forty years? Wasn't it with those who sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness?”

Verse in context — Hebrews 3

while it is said, "Today if you will hear his voice, don't harden your hearts, as in the rebellion.

For who, when they heard, rebelled? No, didn't all those who came out of Egypt by Moses?

With whom was he displeased forty years? Wasn't it with those who sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness?

To whom did he swear that they wouldn't enter into his rest, but to those who were disobedient?

We see that they were not able to enter in because of unbelief.

Jesus as the ultimate High Priest and fulfillment of the Old Covenant.
