In the New Testament, it is used to describe the solemn and binding agreements between God and humanity. It is most commonly translated as "covenant" in the context of God's promises and "testament" when referring to the division of the Bible into Old and New Testaments.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Greek culture, a "diathéké" was akin to a will or testament, a legal document outlining the distribution of one's estate after death. In the Hebrew context, a covenant was a sacred agreement, often sealed with a ritual or sacrifice, signifying a deep, binding relationship. The concept of covenant is central to the biblical narrative, illustrating God's commitment to His people and their responsibilities in return.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>1242</b> <i>diathḗkē</i> (from <a href="/greek/1223.htm">1223</a> <i>/diá</i>, "thoroughly," intensifying <a href="/greek/5087.htm">5087</a> <i>/títhēmi</i>, "place, set") – properly, a set-agreement having <i>complete terms</i> determined by the <i>initiating party</i>, which also are fully affirmed by the one entering <i>the agreement</i>. </p><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/discovery.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/1303.htm">diatithémi</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>testament, will, covenant<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>covenant (30), covenants (3).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 1242: διαθήκη</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">διαθήκη</span></span>, <span class="greek2">διαθήκης</span>, <span class="greek2">ἡ</span> (<span class="greek2">διατίθημι</span>); <p><span class="textheading">1.</span> <span class="accented">a disposition, arrangement,</span> of any sort, which one wishes to be valid (German <span class="foreign">Verordnung, Willensverfugung</span>): <a href="/interlinear/galatians/3-15.htm">Galatians 3:15</a>, where under the name of <span class="accented">a man's disposition</span> is meant specifically <span class="accented">a testament,</span> so far forth as it is a specimen and example of that disposition (cf.

Finally must be noted the amphiboly or twofold use (cf. <span class="abbreviation">Philo</span> de mut. nom. § 6) by which the writer to the Hebrews, in <a href="/interlinear/hebrews/9-16.htm">Hebrews 9:16</a>f, substitutes for the meaning <span class="accented">covenant</span> which <span class="greek2">διαθήκη</span> bears elsewhere in the Epistle that of <span class="accented">testament</span> (see 1 above), and likens Christ to a testator — not only because the author regards eternal blessedness as an inheritance bequeathed by Christ, but also because he is endeavoring to show, both that the attainment of eternal salvation is made possible for the disciples of Christ by his <span class="accented">death</span> (<a href="/interlinear/hebrews/9-15.htm">Hebrews 9:15</a>), and that even the Mosaic covenant had been consecrated by blood (<a href="/interlinear/hebrews/9-18.htm">Hebrews 9:18</a>ff).
