📚 Historical Context

The Book of Hebrews was written to early Jewish Christians facing persecution and temptation to return to old ways, urging them to hold fast to their faith in Christ. This verse quotes from Psalm 95, which reflects on the Israelites' failure to enter the Promised Land due to their unbelief during the wilderness journey. It uses this Old Testament story to warn believers about the consequences of doubting God's promises.
