Verse 10

10. make withGreek, "make unto."

Israel—comprising the before disunited (Hebrews 8:8) ten tribes' kingdom, and that of Judah. They are united in the spiritual Israel, the elect Church, now: they shall be so in the literal restored kingdom of Israel to come.

I will put—literally, "(I) giving." This is the first of the "better promises" (Hebrews 8:6).

mind—their intelligent faculty.

in, c.—rather, " ON their hearts." Not on tables of stone as the law (Hebrews 8:6- :).

writeGreek, "inscribe."

and I will be to them a God, &c.—fulfilled first in the outward kingdom of God. Next, in the inward Gospel kingdom. Thirdly, in the kingdom at once outward and inward, the spiritual being manifested outwardly (Hebrews 8:6- :). Compare a similar progression as to the priesthood (1) Hebrews 8:6- : (2) 1 Peter 2:5; (3) Isaiah 61:6; Revelation 1:6. This progressive advance of the significance of the Old Testament institutions, &c., says THOLUCK, shows the transparency and prophetic character which runs throughout the whole.
