17ForHetestifies:"Youareapriestforeveraccordingtotheorderof

Godwouldmakeanewandbettercovenantwiththisgenerationofpeople.

Heb.8:613
6ButnowHehasobtainedamoreexcellentministry,inasmuchasHeisalso
Mediatorofa bettercovenant ,whichwasestablishedonbetterpromises.
7Forifthatfirstcovenanthadbeenfaultless,thennoplacewouldhavebeen
soughtforasecond.
8Becausefindingfaultwiththem,Hesays:"Behold,thedaysarecoming,
saystheLord,whenIwillmakeanewcovenantwiththehouseofIsrael
andwiththehouseofJudah
9"notaccordingtothecovenantthatImadewiththeirfathersintheday
whenItookthembythehandtoleadthemoutofthelandofEgypt;because
theydidnotcontinueinMycovenant,andIdisregardedthem,saysthe

10"ForthisisthecovenantthatIwillmakewiththehouseofIsraelafter

11"Noneofthemshallteachhisneighbor,andnonehisbrother,saying,

12"ForIwillbemercifultotheirunrighteousness,andtheirsinsandtheir

13InthatHesays,"Anewcovenant,"Hehasmadethefirstobsolete.Now

Rom.9:78
