V. 11.— So I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.)
So I sware in my wrath...— In consequence of which, God sware in His wrath that they should not enter into His rest. We have a full account of what God said on this occasion, Numbers 14:28-35. The expression here is elliptical, “ If they shall enter into my rest.”
Our translators have given the meaning correctly. It is an oath; God swears by Himself. “ I am not God if they shall enter into my rest.”
