This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
of force = sure. Greek. bebaios. See Heb_6:19.
after, &c. = over (Greek. epi) the dead (victims). See Gen_15:9-18. Jer_34:18.
no . . . at all. Greek. me pote.
strength. Greek. ischuo. Compare App-172. The two covenants referred to above show the necessity of a victim being slain for the validity of a covenant, and the ceremony of passing between the parts thereof. To the unconditional covenant with Abraham, Jehovah was the only party (Gen_15:17, Gen_15:18); in the other, note verses: Heb_18:19. The passage here has nothing to do with a "will" or "will-making".
