This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Same reasoning as in Heb 7:11.
faultless - perfect in all its parts, so as not to be found fault with as wanting anything which ought to be there: answering all the purposes of a law. The law in its morality was blameless (Greek, “amomos”); but in saving us it was defective, and so not faultless (Greek, “amemptos”).
should no place have been sought - as it has to be now; and as it is sought in the prophecy (Heb 8:8-11). The old covenant would have anticipated all man’s wants, so as to give no occasion for seeking something more perfectly adequate. Compare on the phrase “place ... sought,” Heb 12:17.
