make with—Greek, "make unto."
Israel—comprising the before disunited (Hebrews 8:8) ten tribes' kingdom, and that of Judah. They are united in the spiritual Israel, the elect Church, now: they shall be so in the literal restored kingdom of Israel to come.
I will put—literally, "(I) giving." This is the first of the "better promises" (Hebrews 8:6).
mind—their intelligent faculty.
in, etc.—rather, " ON their hearts." Not on tables of stone as the law (II Corinthians 3:3).
write—Greek, "inscribe."
and I will be to them a God, etc.—fulfilled first in the outward kingdom of God. Next, in the inward Gospel kingdom. Thirdly, in the kingdom at once outward and inward, the spiritual being manifested outwardly (Revelation 21:3). Compare a similar progression as to the priesthood (1) Exodus 19:6; (2) I Peter 2:5; (3) Isaiah 61:6; Revelation 1:6. This progressive advance of the significance of the Old Testament institutions, etc., says THOLUCK, shows the transparency and prophetic character which runs throughout the whole.
