Hebreus 8

6 But as it is, Christ has acquired a [priestly] ministry which is more excellent [than the old Levitical priestly ministry], for He is the Mediator (Arbiter) of a better covenant [uniting God and man], which has been enacted and rests on better promises.

A New Covenant

7 For if that first covenant had been faultless, there would have been no occasion for a second one or an attempt to institute another one [the new covenant]. 8 However, God finds fault with them [showing its inadequacy] when He says,

"Behold, the days will come, says the Lord,

When I will makeandratify a new covenant

With the house of Israel and with the house of Judah;

9 Not like the covenant that I made with their fathers

On the day when I took them by the hand

To lead them out of the land of Egypt;

For they did not abide in My covenant,

And so I withdrew My favoranddisregarded them, says the Lord.

10 "For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel

After those days, says the Lord:

I will imprint My laws upon their minds [even upon their innermost thoughts and understanding],

And engrave them upon their hearts [effecting their regeneration].

And I will be their God,

And they shall be My people.

11 "And it will not be [necessary] for each one to teach his fellow citizen,

Or each one his brother, saying, ‘Know [by experience, have knowledge of] the Lord,’

For all will know [Me by experience and have knowledge of] Me,

From the least to the greatest of them.

12 "For I will be mercifulandgracious toward their wickedness,

And I will remember their sins no more." [Jer 31:31-34]

13 When God speaks of "A new covenant," He makes the first one obsolete. And whatever is becoming obsolete (out of use, annulled) and growing old is ready to disappear.
