THE MESSAGE
For who were the people who turned a deaf ear? Weren't they the very ones Moses led out of Egypt? And who was God provoked with for forty years? Wasn't it those who turned a deaf ear and ended up corpses in the wilderness? And when he swore that they'd never get where they were going, wasn't he talking to the ones who turned a deaf ear? They never got there because they never listened, never believed.

Contextual Overview
7 It is just as the Holy Spirit says, "If you hear God's voice today, 8 don't be stubborn! Don't rebel like those people who were tested in the desert. 9 For forty years your ancestors tested God and saw the things he did. 10 "Then God got tired of them and said, ‘You people never show good sense, and you don't understand what I want you to do.' 11 God became angry and told the people, ‘You will never enter my place of rest!'" 12 My friends, watch out! Don't let evil thoughts or doubts make any of you turn from the living God. 13 You must encourage one another each day. And you must keep on while there is still a time that can be called "today." If you don't, then sin may fool some of you and make you stubborn. 14 We were sure about Christ when we first became his people. So let's hold tightly to our faith until the end. 15 The Scriptures say, "If you hear his voice today, don't be stubborn like those who rebelled." 16 Who were those people that heard God's voice and rebelled? Weren't they the same ones that came out of Egypt with Moses?

Gill's Notes on the Bible
While it is said today,.... Exhort one another, and hold fast Christ and his Gospel, and faith and confidence therein; what follows is a repetition of the citation in Hebrews 3:7 in order to make a further improvement of it; which shows, that the words belong to the present times of the Gospel, and contain in them matter of moment, and great concern; and that Scripture instructions and exhortations are of perpetual use.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
While it is said, Today ... - That is, persevere as long as life lasts, or as long as it can be said “today;” and by persevering in this manner you will have evidence that you are the friends of the Redeemer. This is a quotation from Psalms 95:7. Paul means, undoubtedly, to make use of this language himself as a direct exhortation to the Christians to whom he was writing. He entreats them, therefore, as long as it could be said “today,” or as long as life lasted, to take care lest they should harden their hearts as had been done in the temptation in the wilderness.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 15. While it is said, To-day — You may see the necessity of perseverance from the saying, "Today, if ye will hear his voice," therefore harden not your hearts-do not neglect so great a salvation; hold fast what ye have obtained, and let no man take your crown. See on Hebrews 3:7-9, and Hebrews 3:12.
