Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Hebrews 8:8

_ _ finding fault with them — the people of the old covenant, who were not made “faultless” by it (Hebrews 8:7); and whose disregard of God’s covenant made Him to “regard them not” (Hebrews 8:9). The law is not in itself blamed, but the people who had not observed it.

_ _ he saith — (Jeremiah 31:31-34; compare Ezekiel 11:19; Ezekiel 36:25-27). At Rama, the headquarters of Nebuzar-adan, whither the captives of Jerusalem had been led, Jeremiah uttered this prophecy of Israel’s restoration under another David, whereby Rachel, wailing for her lost children, shall be comforted; literally in part fulfilled at the restoration under Zerubbabel, and more fully to be hereafter at Israel’s return to their own land; spiritually fulfilled in the Gospel covenant, whereby God forgives absolutely His people’s sins, and writes His law by His Spirit on the hearts of believers, the true Israel. “This prophecy forms the third part of the third trilogy of the three great trilogies into which Jeremiah’s prophecies may be divided: Jeremiah 21-25, against the shepherds of the people; Jeremiah 26-29, against the false prophets; Jeremiah 30:1-24 and Jeremiah 31:1-40, the book of restoration” [Delitzsch in Alford].

_ _ Behold, the days come — the frequent formula introducing a Messianic prophecy.

_ _ makeGreek, “perfect”; “consummate.” A suitable expression as to the new covenant, which perfected what the old could not (compare end of Hebrews 8:9, with end of Hebrews 8:10).

_ _ Israel ... Judah — Therefore, the ten tribes, as well as Judah, share in the new covenant. As both shared the exile, so both shall share the literal and spiritual restoration.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Hebrews 8:6-13.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Hebrews 8:8

But there is; for finding fault with them — Who were under the old covenant he saith, I make a new covenant with the house of Israel — With all the Israel of God, in all ages and nations. It is new in many respects, though not as to the substance of it: Being ratified by the death of Christ. Freed from those burdensome rites and ceremonies. Containing a more full and clear account of spiritual religion. Attended with larger influences of the Spirit Extended to all men. And, Never to be abolished. Jeremiah 31:31, &c.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Hebrews 8:8

For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the (c) house of Israel and with the house of Judah:

(c) He calls it a house, as it were one family of the whole kingdom: for while the kingdom of David was divided into two sections, the Prophet would have us understand that through the new Testament they shall be joined together again in one.
