not like the covenant

that I made with their ancestors

on the day I took them by the hand

because they did not continue in my covenant.

For this is the covenant

that I will make with the house of Israel

I will be their God,

and they will be my people.

Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 8:11 -

And each person will not teach his fellow citizen,[fn]

and each his brother or sister, saying, “Know the Lord,”

because they will all know me,

from the least to the greatest of them.

Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 8:12 -

For I will forgive their wrongdoing,

and I will never again remember their sins.[fn]

Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 8:13 -

By saying a new covenant, he has declared that the first is obsolete. And what is obsolete and growing old is about to pass away.
