A New Covenant

7 For if that afirst covenant had been faultless, then no place would have been sought for a second.  
8 Because finding fault with them, He says: a“Behold, the days are coming, says the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah—  
9 not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they did not continue in My covenant, and I disregarded them, says the Lord.
10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the aLord: I will put My laws in their mind and write them on their hearts; and bI will be their God, and they shall be My people.  
11 aNone of them shall teach his neighbor, and none his brother, saying, ‘Know the bLord,’ for all shall know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them.  
12 For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, aand their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more.”  
13 aIn that He says, “A new covenant,” He has made the first obsolete. Now what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away.

Hebrews 8:9

In the day that I took them (en hmerai epilabomenou mou). Genitive absolute (mou and second aorist middle participle of epilambanw), "a Hellenistic innovation" (Moffatt) in imitation of the Hebrew after hmerai in place of en h epelabomen, occurring also in Barnabas 2:28.

By the hand (thv xeirov). Technical use of the genitive of the part affected.

To lead them forth (ecagagein autouv). Second aorist active infinitive of ecagw to denote purpose.

For they continued not (oti autoi ouk enemeinan). First aorist active indicative of emmenw, old verb to remain in (Acts 14:22). The Israelites broke the covenant. Then God annulled it.

I regarded not (hmelhsa). "I neglected" as in Hebrews 2:3. The covenant was void when they broke it.
