hath given you rest Comp. Deuteronomy 25:19, "It shall be, when the Lord thy God hath given thee rest from all thine enemiesround about, in the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee for an inheritance to possess it." Into this "rest" the disobedient did not enter (Numbers 14:28-30; Psalms 95:7-11; Hebrews 3:11-18), but the true "Rest," the complete "Sabbath-keeping," still remaineth for "the people of God" (Hebrews 4:9).

this land Compare Joshua 1:2 and Deuteronomy 3:18, the land in which the whole people as yet and the speaker also were, the land east of the Jordan.
