Hebrews 8:9 - Forerunner Commentary

Hebrews 8:9

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.
