From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

CHAPTER IV. ANALYSIS OF THE CHAPTER. THIS chapter comprises two parts. In the first, Heb 4:1-13, the apostle pursues and completes the exhortation which he had commenced in the previous chapter, drawn from the comparison of the Saviour with Moses, (see the analysis of chapter 3;) and in the second part, (Heb 4:14-16,) he enters on the consideration of the character of Christ as a high priest, which is pursued to the end of the doctrinal part of the epistle. In the first part, (Heb 4:1-13,) he describes more at length the character of the "rest" to which he had referred in the previous chapter.
