“For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day.”
For if Joshua had given them rest, God would not have spoken later about another day — the figure of Joshua (same name as Jesus in Greek) is invoked to clarify that Joshua's military conquest of Canaan was not the ultimate rest of God. The argument is: the earthly promised land is a type of a greater rest.
