Did not arrive at that law (eiv nomon ouk efqasen). First aorist active indicative of fqanw, old verb to anticipate (I Thessalonians 4:15), now just to arrive as here and II Corinthians 10:14. The word "that" is not in the Greek. Legal righteousness Israel failed to reach, because to do that one had to keep perfectly all the law.
