In the context of Hebrews, it refers to the New Covenant established by Jesus Christ, fulfilling and surpassing the Old Covenant given to Israel. This New Covenant is rooted in the promises of God, emphasizing a personal and transformative relationship with Him. Historically, covenants were solemn agreements, often sealed with blood, underscoring the seriousness and commitment involved. The New Covenant, prophesied in <a href="/jeremiah/31-31.htm">Jeremiah 31:31-34</a>, is characterized by internal transformation rather than external adherence to the law.I will make with them The phrase indicates God's initiative and sovereignty in establishing this covenant. The use of "I will" underscores God's active role and His desire to bring about a new relationship with His people. It is a divine promise, not dependent on human effort but on God's faithfulness. The historical context of covenants in the ancient Near East often involved a superior party dictating terms to a lesser party, yet here, God graciously offers a covenant of grace and mercy.after those days This phrase refers to the time following the Old Covenant, pointing to a future era inaugurated by Christ's death and resurrection. "After those days" signifies a transition from the old order to the new, a fulfillment of prophetic anticipation. It marks the eschatological shift where the promises of God find their ultimate realization in Jesus, bringing about a new age of salvation history.declares the Lord The declaration by "the Lord" (Greek: "Κύριος," Kyrios) emphasizes the authority and certainty of the promise. It is God Himself who speaks, ensuring the reliability and divine origin of the covenant. In the biblical narrative, when God declares something, it is as good as done, reflecting His omnipotence and unchanging nature. This assurance provides believers with confidence in the promises of the New Covenant.I will put My laws in their hearts The internalization of God's laws signifies a radical transformation from the external adherence required by the Old Covenant. The Greek word for "laws" is "νόμους" (nomous), indicating divine principles or commandments. By placing His laws in their hearts, God promises an intimate and personal relationship with His people, where obedience flows from a transformed heart rather than mere obligation. This reflects the work of the Holy Spirit in believers, writing God's will on their hearts.and inscribe them on their minds The word "inscribe" (Greek: "ἐπιγράψω," epigrapsō) suggests a permanent and indelible marking. The mind, or "διάνοια" (dianoia), represents understanding and intellect. By inscribing His laws on their minds, God ensures that His people will have a deep, cognitive awareness of His will. This dual action of placing His laws in hearts and minds signifies a holistic transformation, affecting both emotions and intellect, leading to a comprehensive renewal of the individual.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/hebrews/10.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(16) I will put my laws.--Rather, putting my laws upon their heart, upon their mind also will I write them.
