Hebrews
"Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers..."
Text: Hebrews 8:9
A LANDMARK (MOSAIC) COVENANT
The pact that God made with Israel may indeed be called a “landmark covenant”. The heart of that covenant would be the “Ten Commandments” (Cf. Exodus 20:1-17). The Book of Deuteronomy contains many explanations of the application of The Decalogue. The following text is a sad commentary of the response of Israel to the Mosaic Covenant.
“Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers
in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of
the land of Egypt; because they did not continue in My covenant,
and I disregarded them, says the Lord.”
