covenant.

or, testament.

Heb. 9:16‑17• ¹⁶(For where there is a testament, the death of the testator must needs come in.

• “The God of peace.” In the midst of exercise of heart with regard to the Hebrews, of arguments to preserve their love from growing cold, in the midst of the moral unsteadiness that enfeebled the walk of these Christians, and their trials in the breaking down of what they considered stable and holy, this title has a peculiarly precious character. (“Hebrews 13” by J.N. Darby)

• The word “everlasting” is specific, in the Epistle to the Hebrews, in contrast with a system which was passing away. It speaks of eternal redemption, eternal inheritance, the eternal Spirit even. (“Hebrews 13” by J.N. Darby)

20

But the God of peace, that brought again from among [the] dead our Lord Jesus the great Shepherd of the sheep in virtue ofa blood of an everlastingb covenant,

WK Translation Notes

+

a

It expresses the power or virtue in that blood in which God brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus. The Revisers render "en" as "with," for which they add in the margin, "by." The true bearing of "en" is "in virtue" or "the power of" His blood. It is not Christ’s taking the blood with Him to heaven.

b

"An" eternal is very much to be doubted. Our tongue does not always admit of the characterizing power of the anarthrous Greek construction, as may be seen in almost every salutation of the Epistles and often elsewhere. Hence we are forced sometimes to use our definite article where Greek has none.
