• terms of the new covenant as here cited from the prophet, though from the Septuagint rather than the Hebrew, and not without change even from that. (“Hebrews 8:10-11” by W. Kelly)
• But while there was evident propriety, in writing to Hebrew confessors, to quote from the inspired words of Jeremiah, it is an error to assume that the gospel as preached now is the fulfillment of the prediction. It is perfectly legitimate to apply the words to privileges conferred by the gospel without denying that the prophet has in view the days when the house of Israel and the house of Judah shall alike be blessed under the reign of the Messiah; whereas during gospel times the Gentile is as open to the call of grace as the Jew (“Hebrews 8:10-11” by W. Kelly)
• The law as a system was external, and was characterized by an elaborate ritualism, visible and palpable, when anointed priest, Levite, ruler....The laws were outside the Israelite; they were not written on his heart. Far different is the work of grace now. God gives them into the mind and writes them on the heart of every believer. (“Hebrews 8:10-11” by W. Kelly)
• {v.10-12} In setting forth the blessing of the new covenant, again and again the Lord says, “I will”—“I will make” a new covenant; “I will put My laws into their mind”; “I will be to them a God”; “I will be merciful”; “their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.” It is clear that the blessings of the new covenant depend, not on man’s doings or man’s will, but on God’s sovereign will. (“The New Covenant: Hebrews 8” by H. Smith)
