Hebrews 8:6 - Forerunner Commentary

Hebrews 8:6

4 For if He were on earth, He would not be a priest, since there are priests who offer the gifts according to the law;

5 who serve ^athe copy and ^bshadow of the heavenly things, as Moses was divinely instructed when he was about to make the tabernacle. For He said, ^c“See that you make all things according to the pattern shown you on the mountain.”

6 But now ^aHe has obtained a more excellent ministry, inasmuch as He is also Mediator of a ^bbetter covenant, which was established on better promises.

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.

Hebrews 8:6-8

There was nothing wrong with the law, there was nothing really wrong with the covenant, the problem was in the people—them—the plural people for finding fault with them, finding fault with the people. God then proposed a New Covenant. The people were too weak to keep the law in its spirit.
