Verse 9
9. Not… covenant… fathers Positively, as last verse, it was to be a new covenant; negatively, it was not to be the old one continued and amended: it was to be a substitution, not an improvement merely. The old covenant was to cease existence, and a new one take its place. And, lest the words might seem to signify some minor change, a full specification of the old covenant is given. It was that covenant made when God led Israel out of… Egypt, namely, the Mosaic covenant. A change no less than an abolition of the Mosaic and an establishment of a new Messianic covenant, was to take place.
Because Important reason given: the failure of Israel (not of God) to keep the covenant. They continued not, then I regarded them not.
