Hebrews 8:10 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

For this is the covenant that I will make after those days In the times of the Messiah; I will put my laws into their mind I will open the eyes of their understanding, and give them light to discern the true, full, spiritual meaning thereof; and write them in their hearts So that they shall love them, and shall experience inwardly, and practise outwardly, whatsoever I command. They shall have that love to me and all mankind shed abroad in their hearts, which shall be a never-failing spring of piety and virtue within them, and which, of my mercy and grace, I will accept as the fulfilling of the law. The words are an allusion to the writing of the law on the two tables of stone. And I will be to them a God Their all- sufficient portion, preserver, and rewarder; and they shall be to me a people My beloved, loving, and obedient children. Or the former clause may signify, They shall know, fear, love, and serve me willingly and acceptably as their God, and I will protect, guide, govern, bless, and save them as my people.
