of a better testament] A clearer rendering would be By so much better was the covenant of which Jesus has been made surety. The wordswhich might be taken as the keynote of the whole Epistleshould undoubtedly be rendered of a better covenant The Greek word diathçkç is the rendering of the Hebrew Berîth, which means a covenant. Of testaments the Hebrews knew nothing until they learnt the custom of making a will from the Romans. So completely was this the case that there is no word in Hebrew which means a will, and when a writer in the Talmud wants to speak of a will, he has to put the Greek word diathçkç in Hebrew letters. The Hebrew berîth is rendered diathçkç in the LXX., and covenant by our translators at least 200 times. When we speak of the Old or the New Testament we have borrowed the word from the Vulgate or Latin translation of St Jerome in 2Co_3:6. The only exception to this meaning of diathçkç is in Heb_9:15-17. Of the way in which Jesus is a pledge of this better covenant, see Heb_7:25 and Heb_8:1; Heb_8:6, Heb_9:15, Heb_12:24. The word for pledge (ἔγγυος) occurs here alone in the N.T., but is found in Sir_29:15.

surety ensuring in His own person the certainty of the covenant to us. This He did by becoming responsible for our guilt, by sealing the covenant with His blood, and by being openly acknowledged as our triumphant Savior by the Father, who raised Him from the dead. Thus He is at once Gods surety for man, and mans surety for God, and so Mediator between God and man (Heb_8:6).

testament sometimes translated, covenant. The Greek term implies that it is appointed by God, and comprises the relations and bearings partly of a covenant, partly of a testament: (1) the appointment made without the concurrence of a second party, of somewhat concerning that second party; a last will or testament, so in Heb_9:16, Heb_9:17; (2) a mutual agreement in which both parties consent.
