The verses around Hebrews 4:9.
7Again, he limiteth a certain day, saying in David, To day, after so long a time; as it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts.
8For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day.
9There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God.
10For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his.
11Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief.
Verse explanation
Saying that Joshua didn't actually give the people the final rest is the argument for affirming that “there remaineth therefore a rest” — here the word points to Sabbath rest. The idea is that entering the promised land, in Joshua's time, was only a shadow of a greater rest still to come.
