In the biblical context, it refers to a divine promise or arrangement established by God with His people. Historically, covenants were central to the relationship between God and Israel, such as the Abrahamic and Mosaic covenants. This new covenant, as prophesied in <a href="/jeremiah/31-31.htm">Jeremiah 31:31-34</a>, signifies a transformative relationship, moving from external adherence to internal transformation.I will make with the house of Israel The phrase "house of Israel" refers to the descendants of Jacob, also known as Israel. In the New Testament context, it extends to include all who are part of the faith community, both Jews and Gentiles, as the spiritual Israel (<a href="/romans/9-6.htm">Romans 9:6-8</a>). This covenant is inclusive, reaching beyond ethnic boundaries to encompass all believers who are grafted into the spiritual lineage of Israel.after those days This phrase indicates a future time, pointing to the era following the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. It marks the transition from the old covenant, based on the law given at Sinai, to the new covenant inaugurated by Christ's sacrifice. "Those days" refer to the period of the old covenant, which was a shadow of the good things to come (<a href="/hebrews/10.htm">Hebrews 10:1</a>).declares the Lord The declaration "declares the Lord" emphasizes the divine authority and certainty of the promise. The Greek word "λέγει" (legei) underscores that this is not merely a human initiative but a divine proclamation. It assures believers of the reliability and unchanging nature of God's word.I will put My laws in their minds The phrase "put My laws in their minds" signifies an internalization of God's commandments. The Greek word for "put" is "δίδωμι" (didōmi), meaning to give or place. This internalization contrasts with the old covenant, where the law was external, written on tablets of stone. The new covenant involves a transformation of the mind, aligning thoughts and understanding with God's will (<a href="/romans/12-2.htm">Romans 12:2</a>).and inscribe them on their hearts The word "inscribe" comes from the Greek "ἐπιγράψω" (epigrapsō), meaning to write upon. This metaphorical language indicates a deep, personal, and permanent engraving of God's laws within the core of one's being. The heart, in biblical terms, represents the center of emotions, will, and intellect. This transformation leads to a genuine love for God's commandments and a desire to live in accordance with His will.And I will be their God This phrase echoes the covenantal promise found throughout Scripture, from Genesis to Revelation. It signifies a personal and communal relationship with God, where He is recognized as the sovereign ruler and loving Father. The Greek construction emphasizes possession and belonging, indicating a mutual relationship of commitment and devotion.and they will be My people The phrase "they will be My people" reflects the fulfillment of God's promise to Abraham and his descendants. It signifies a chosen community, set apart for God's purposes. In the new covenant, this identity is not based on ethnic lineage but on faith in Christ. Believers are adopted into God's family, becoming heirs of His promises and participants in His divine mission (<a href="/1_peter/2-9.htm">1 Peter 2:9-10</a>).<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/hebrews/8.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(10) I will make.--Literally, I will covenant--not the same word as in <a href="/hebrews/8-8.htm" title="For finding fault with them, he said, Behold, the days come, said the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah:">Hebrews 8:8</a>.Israel.--Formerly (<a href="/hebrews/8-8.htm" title="For finding fault with them, he said, Behold, the days come, said the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah:">Hebrews 8:8</a>), Israel and Judah. When the reunion of the nation had once been signified, "Israel" could stand alone as the name of the one people.I will put.--Better, putting my laws into their mind, I will also write them on their heart. In the former clause the Hebrew has, "I will put my law in their inward parts;" the law shall be within them, not an external code. In the latter, the "fleshy tablets of the heart" are contrasted with "the tables of the Law." This is the first of the "better promises." <a href="/commentaries/hebrews/8-10.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Greek</div>For ὅτι (hoti) Conjunction <a href="/greek/strongs_3754.htm">Strong's 3754: </a> Neuter of hostis as conjunction; demonstrative, that; causative, because. this [is] αὕτη (hautē) Demonstrative Pronoun - Nominative Feminine Singular <a href="/greek/strongs_3778.htm">Strong's 3778: </a> This; he, she, it. the ἡ (hē) Article - Nominative Feminine Singular <a href="/greek/strongs_3588.htm">Strong's 3588: </a> The, the definite article.
