Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Hebrews 8:8-9

Hebrews 8:8-9. For In this verse the apostle enters upon the proof of his argument proposed in that foregoing, namely, that the first covenant was not faultless, or every way sufficient for the end God had in view, because there was cause for the introduction of another. For finding fault with them Namely, the people; he saith, Behold the days come, &c. This is translated by Grotius and others, Finding fault, he saith to them, and understood of finding fault with the former... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Hebrews 8:1-13

A new priest and a new covenant (8:1-13)Only once a year could the Levitical high priest enter God’s symbolic dwelling place (the Most Holy Place), but Christ the great high priest lives in the actual presence of God for ever (8:1-2). Levitical priests offered animal sacrifices, but Christ offered himself. He did not make this offering as a Levitical priest (for he was not of the family of Aaron), but the work of the Levitical priests pictured his work. The sacrifices they offered were a... read more

9. Not according to, c.—very different from, and far superior to, the old covenant, which only "worked wrath" (Romans 4:15) through man's "not regarding" it. The new covenant enables us to obey by the Spirit's inward impulse producing love because of the forgiveness of our sins. made with—rather as Greek, "made to": the Israelites being only recipients, not coagents [ALFORD] with God.

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Hebrews 8:6-13

The better covenant 8:6-13The writer proceeded to explain the superiority of the New Covenant that Jesus Christ ratified with His blood (death) that is better than the Old Mosaic Covenant that He terminated when He died. He first explained the reason for the change in covenants (Hebrews 8:6-9), then he quoted the four superior promises of the New Covenant (Hebrews 8:10-12), and finally he underlined the certainty of the change (Hebrews 8:13). read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Hebrews 8:8-12

God gave the promise of a new covenant because the people of Israel had failed Him. He also did so because the Old Mosaic Covenant did not have the power to enable them to remain faithful to God. The New Covenant has the power whereby God’s people may remain faithful, namely, the presence of God living within the believer (i.e., the Holy Spirit). This is one way in which it differs from the Old Covenant (Hebrews 8:9). [Note: For a helpful essays on the new covenant, see J. Dwight Pentecost, Thy... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 8:1-13

The High Priest of the Heavenly Sanctuary and the Fulfilment of Jeremiah’s ProphecyChrist, as Melchizedek-High-Priest, has a higher ministry than the Levitical priesthood, because He ministers in the true Tabernacle in heaven which indeed was the pattern for the earthly tabernacle (Hebrews 8:1-5). Besides He is superior in proportion as the new covenant is better than the first (Hebrews 8:6-13).1. The sum] RV ’the chief point.’2.

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Hebrews 8:9

(9) Not according to the covenant.—The difference is declared below (Hebrews 8:10-12). “In the day when” they were led forth out of Egypt the token of God’s covenant was the deliverance itself. At Sinai, Exodus 24:7-8 (see Hebrews 9:18-22), the “book of the covenant” was read, and “the blood of the covenant” was “sprinkled on the people,” who had promised obedience to all the words that the Lord had said.And I regarded them not.—It is here that the translation departs from the Hebrew, which, as... read more

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Hebrews 8:1-13

Heaven's Teaching on Earth's Duties Hebrews 8:5 The experience of Moses on Mount Sinai, to which our text refers, was a remarkable example of communion between God and man. We may thankfully accept it as a symbol of spiritual truth, and typical of recurring experience. Fellowship with God is not peculiar to any age, or clime, or race; and access to the Father is now far more generally enjoyed than in Mosaic times; for since then the world has seen and heard Him who said: 'I am the way, and the... read more

CHAPTER 8 1. Christ, the High Priest (Hebrews 8:1-6 ) 2. The old covenant and the new (Hebrews 8:7-13 ) Hebrews 7:1-6 The new priesthood which the better priest exerciseth in heaven furthermore implies also a change in the sacrifices and in the covenant. This is now more fully developed in the last three chapters of this section. There is first of all a summary. The priest we have is not ministering on earth but “we have such an high priest, who is set on the right hand of the throne of the... read more
