Hebrews 4:8 Context
6Seeing therfore it remaineth that some must enter therein, and they to whom it was first preached, entred not in because of vnbeleefe: 7Againe, hee limiteth a certaine day, saying in Dauid, To day, after so long a time; as it is saide, To day if ye will heare his voyce, harden not your hearts. 8For if Iesus had giuen them rest, then would he not afterward haue spoken of another day. 9There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God. 10For he that is entred into his rest, hee also hath ceased from his owne works, as God did from his.

People's Bible Notes for Hebrews 4:8
Heb 4:8 For if Jesus. "Joshua" in the Revised Version. "Jesus" is the Greek form of the Hebrew word "Joshua". Had given them rest. Joshua led Israel over the Jordan into Canaan, but that did not give them complete rest. Then would he not afterward have spoken of another day. If that had been true, David would not have exhorted them to seek to enter into rest. Five hundred years after they entered Canaan this exhortation is given in Ps 95:7-11.
