Hebrews 3:11 Context
9When your fathers tempted me, prooued me, and saw my works fourty yeeres. 10Wherefore I was grieued with that generation, and sayd, They doe alway erre in their hearts, and they haue not knowen my wayes. 11So I sware in my wrath: they shall not enter into my rest. 12Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an euill heart of vnbeleefe, in departing from the liuing God. 13But exhort one another dayly, while it is called To day, least any of you be hardned through the deceitfulnesse of sinne.

People's Bible Notes for Hebrews 3:11
Heb 3:11 So I sware in my wrath. A figure of speech which means that God, indignant at their unbelief and sin, declared they should not enter Canaan. See Nu 14:20-35. They shall not enter into my rest. Canaan, while the Israelites were yet in bondage, was promised as a land of rest. On the weary journey in the wilderness it was still looked to as the rest. To prohibit from entering the rest was then to prohibit from entering Canaan. It is, however, a type of heaven, the land of eternal rest. Hence, the warnings that are pointed out in the next verse.
