Hebrews 8:9

8:9 “It will not be like the covenant ¹  that I made with their fathers, on the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of Egypt, because they did not continue in my covenant and I had no regard for them, says the Lord.

Hebrews 9:15

9:15 And so he is the mediator ²  of a new covenant, so that those who are called may receive the eternal inheritance he has promised, ³  since he died ⁴  to set them free from the violations committed under the first covenant.

Hebrews 10:29

10:29 How much greater punishment do you think that person deserves who has contempt for ⁵  the Son of God, and profanes ⁶  the blood of the covenant that made him holy, ⁷  and insults the Spirit of grace?

[8:9]  ¹ tn Grk “not like the covenant,” continuing the description of v. 8b.

[9:15]  ² tn The Greek word μεσίτης (mesith", “mediator”) in this context does not imply that Jesus was a mediator in the contemporary sense of the word, i.e., he worked for compromise between opposing parties. Here the term describes his function as the one who was used by God to enact a new covenant which established a new relationship between God and his people, but entirely on God’s terms.

[9:15]  ³ tn Grk “the promise of the eternal inheritance.”

[9:15]  ⁴ tn Grk “a death having occurred.”

[10:29]  ³ tn Grk “tramples under foot.”

[10:29]  ⁴ tn Grk “regarded as common.”

[10:29]  ⁵ tn Grk “by which he was made holy.”
