This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
This (hautē). The “new” one of Heb 8:8.
That I will make (hēn diathēsomai). Future middle of diatithēmi, “that I will covenant,” cognate accusative (hēn), using the same root in the verb as in diathēkē.
I will put (didous). “Giving,” present active participle of didōmi, to give.
Into their mind (eis tēn dianoian autōn). Their intellect, their moral understanding, all the intellect as in Aristotle (Col 1:21; Eph 4:18).
On their heart (epi kardias autōn). Either genitive singular or accusative plural. Kardia is the seat of man’s personal life (Westcott), the two terms covering the whole of man’s inward nature.
A god (eis theon). Note the Hebraistic use of eis in the predicate instead of the usual nominative theos as in “a people” (eis laon). This was the ideal of the old covenant (Exo 6:7), now at last to be a fact.
