And in this place again: και here is not so much copularive, connecting an instance of David to the same purpose of that of Moses about the seventh day’s rest from the creation; but discretive, joining an instance of another rest of God different from the seventh day’s rest. Moses spake of this, but David here of a further rest; for in Psa 95:11, David spake not of the seventh day, but of God’s last and eternal rest.
If they shall enter into my rest; ei here is affirmative, as appears by comparing Heb 4:3 and Heb 4:6, that these shall have a real and full possession in the future after David’s time of this rest, and therefore different from Moses’s rest so long past before. The word rest in the Hebrew is not the same in the text of Moses and David; Gen 2:2,3, it is שבת in Psa 95:11, מנוהתי this of David noting the full, eternal, comfortable rest of souls in glory, sworn by God to believers in the gospel.

And in this place again,.... In Psa 95:11 he speaks again of another rest distinct from that on the seventh day; which, and not the latter, is what believers under the Gospel dispensation enter into:
if they shall enter into my rest: that is, unbelievers shall not enter into it; as the unbelieving Israelites did not enter into the typical rest, so neither shall any unbeliever enter into the Gospel rest, the antitype of the former.

Verse 5. And in this place again] In the ninety-fifth Psalm, already quoted, Ps 95:3. This was a second rest which the Lord promised to the believing, obedient seed of Abraham; and as it was spoken of in the days of David, when the Jews actually possessed this long promised Canaan, therefore it is evident that that was not the rest which God intended, as the next verse shows.

To show that even in this Psalm God spoke of “his” rest, and said that they should not enter into it; and,
(2)It is connected with Heb 4:6, and is designed to show that it was implied that a rest yet remained. “That which deserves to be called “the divine rest” is spoken of in the Scriptures, and as “they” did not enter into it, it follows that it must be in reserve for some others, and that the promise must still remain.”

5. In this place again. In Psalm 95:11, which declares that Israel should not enter into God's rest. Though Israel had kept the rest of the Sabbath, they had not entered into God's rest, as this language shows. The rest of the Sabbath is not then the promised rest, nor is Canaan below, from which nearly all Israel was once excluded, because David exhorts the people, though in Canaan, to enter into the rest.
