Therefore, let us fear if, while a promise remains of entering His rest, any one of you may seem to have come short of it. For indeed we have had good news preached to us, just as they also; but the word they heard did not profit them, because it was not united by faith in those who heard. For we who have believed enter that rest, just as He has said, “A s I swore in M y wrath , T hey shall not enter M y rest ,” although His works were finished from the foundation of the world. For He has said somewhere concerning the seventh day: “A nd G od rested on the seventh day from all H is works ”; Therefore, since it remains for some to enter it, and those who formerly had good news preached to them failed to enter because of disobedience, He again fixes a certain day, “Today,” saying through David after so long a time just as has been said before, “T oday if you hear H is voice , D o not harden your hearts .” For if Joshua had given them rest, He would not have spoken of another day after that. So there remains a Sabbath rest for the people of God. For the one who has entered His rest has himself also rested from his works, as God did from His.

Verse 8 refers to the passage below in the book of Joshua.
Your wives, your little ones, and your cattle shall remain in the land which Moses gave you beyond the Jordan, but you shall cross before your brothers in battle array, all your valiant warriors, and shall help them, until the Lord gives your brothers rest, as He gives you, and they also possess the land which the Lord your God is giving them. Then you shall return to your own land, and possess that which Moses the servant of the Lord gave you beyond the Jordan toward the sunrise.”
Joshua 1:14-15 NASB
When you take into account the full text of scripture then you see that Christ is the Sabbath, and that by entering into his rest it means into covenant with him, through believing in him.
