Wesley's Notes for Hebrews 8:13

People's Bible Notes for Hebrews 8:13

Heb 8:13 A new [covenant], he hath made the first old. This language implied that the other covenant, the one made at Sinai, is the old covenant. That which decayeth and waxeth old [is] ready to vanish away. This language implies that the old covenant is to pass away. That it has done so is shown in the next chapter.
