Hebrews 9:17

of force = sure. Greek. bebaios. See Hebrews 6:19 .

after, &c . = over (Greek. epi) the dead (victims). See Genesis 15:9-18 . Jeremiah 34:18 .

no . . . at all . Greek. me pote.

strength . Greek. ischuo. Compare App-172 . The two covenants referred to above show the necessity of a victim being slain for the validity of a covenant, and the ceremony of passing between the parts thereof. To the unconditional covenant with Abraham, Jehovah was the only party (Genesis 15:17 , Genesis 15:18 ); in the other, note verses: Heb 18:19 . The passage here has nothing to do with a "will" or "will-making".
