This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

Heb 9:16. Διαθήκη) testament. This is the peculiar force of the Greek word, as compared with (above, præ) the Hebrew ברית. The article ἡ omitted agrees with the general sentiment expressed, as in Gal 3:15.-φέρεσθαι) be shown, or made good, fulfilled (præstari). The Greek words, φέρεσθαι, προσφέρεσθαι, Heb 9:14, allude to each other.-τοῦ διαθεμένου, of the testator) Christ is the testator in respect of us. This agrees with the words of the Lord before His death; Luk 22:29.
