Hebrews Study Notes—Chapter 3

New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures (Study Edition)
- 3:10
  
  I became disgusted: Paul quotes from Ps 95 to show how Jehovah felt about the Israelites who rebelled against him in the wilderness. Although Jehovah protected, preserved, and cared for them in many miraculous ways, they persistently tested and challenged him, proving that they “always [went] astray in their hearts.” They provoked Jehovah to great anger, loathing, and even disgust. (Ps 95:9-11; compare Nu 14:22, 23.) Using this account, Paul urges the Hebrew Christians never to follow the faithless, rebellious course of their ancestors.—See study note on Heb 3:12.
