For if that first covenant had been faultless, a place would not have been sought for the second. For finding fault with them, he says, Behold the days are coming, says the Lord, and I will perfect upon the house of Israel and upon the house of Judah, a new covenant: not according to the covenant which I made with their fathers, in the day that I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they abode not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, says the Lord. Because this is my covenant which I will establish with the house of Israel after these days, says the Lord; having given my laws in their mind, I will also write them on their heart; and I will be to them a God, and they shall be unto me a people. And they shall no longer teach each one his neighbor, each one his brother, saying, Know ye the Lord: because all shall know me, from their small even unto the great.

For you have not come to the mountain that can be touched, and that is burnt with fire, and unto blackness and darkness, and tempest, and to the sound of the trumpet, and the voice of words; which those having heard requested that the word should not be spoken unto them: for they could not endure that which was spoken, If a wild beast should touch the mountain, it shall be pierced through with a dart: read more.
and the sight was so fearful, Moses said, I exceedingly fear and tremble: but you have come to mount Zion, and to the heavenly Jerusalem, to the city of the living God, and to myriads of angels, to the whole company, and to the church of the first-born, who have been written in the heavens, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of justified people who have been made perfect, and to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, speaking something better than the blood of Abel.
