- the LORD[YHWH]:
- "Now¹ therefore, if¹ ye will obey²º my voice² indeed,ªº¹ and keepªº¹ my covenant,ª then ye shall be¹ a peculiar treasureª unto me above all¹¹ people:ª for¹ all¹ the earthª [is] mine:" {Exd 19:5} + "And he tookªº the bookª of the covenant,ª and readªº in the audienceª of the people:ª and they said,ªº All¹ that¹ the LORDª hath saidªº will we do,ªº and be obedient.ªº ... And Mosesª tookªº¹ the blood,ª and sprinkledªº [it] on¹ the people,ª and said,ªº Behold¹ the bloodª of the covenant,ª which¹ the LORDª hath madeªº with¹ you concerning¹ all¹ these¹ words.ª" {Exd 24:7-8} + "These¹ [are] the wordsª of the covenant,ª which¹ the LORDª commandedªº¹ Mosesª to makeªº with¹ the childrenª of Israelª in the landª of Moab,ª beside¹¹ the covenantª which¹ he madeªº with¹ them in Horeb.ª" {Deu 29:1} + "Ye¹ standªº this dayª all¹ of you beforeª the LORDª your God;ª your captainsª of your tribes,ª your elders,ª and your officers,ªº [with] all¹ the menª of Israel,ª ... Neither¹ with¹ you only¹ do I¹ makeªº¹ this¹ covenantª and this¹ oath;ª" {Deu 29:10-14} + "Behold,¹ the daysª come,ªº saithªº the LORD,ª that I will makeªº a newª covenantª with¹ the houseª of Israel,ª and with¹ the houseª of Judah:ª ... And they shall teachªº no¹ more¹ every manª¹ his neighbour,ª and every manª¹ his brother,ª saying,ªº Knowªº¹ the LORD:ª for¹ they shall all¹ knowªº me, from the leastª¹ of them unto¹ the greatestª of them, saithªº the LORD:ª for¹ I will forgiveªº their iniquity,ª and I will rememberªº their sinª no¹ more.¹" {Jer 31:31-34} + "Butª nowª hath he obtainedªº a more excellentª ministry,ª by how muchª alsoª he isªº the mediatorª of a betterª covenant,ª whichª was establishedªº uponª betterª promises.ª ... In² that he saith,ªº A newª [covenant], he hath made²º the first² old.ªº¹¹ Nowª that which decayethªº andª waxeth oldªº [is] ready² to vanish away.ª¹" {Hbr 8:6-13}
