This covenant included the Ten Commandments and various laws governing religious, moral, and social life. The new covenant, as prophesied in <a href="/jeremiah/31-31.htm">Jeremiah 31:31-34</a>, is distinct in that it is based on internal transformation rather than external adherence to the law.

"Disregarded" suggests a withdrawal of favor and protection, leading to consequences such as exile and suffering.
