#2 Hebrews 8:13 Has a Grammatical Subject, and It Is Not Torah

He writes Torah in at verse ten, three verses before anything starts aging.

Rests on: Yirmeyahu 31 as the content of the new covenant, established in #1. Pays: the full post on Hebrews 8:13 that #1 owed you. Owes: the gentile obligation question, which is Acts 15 territory. And the positive case for Torah’s continuance, which this post does not make and cannot.

Paid tier. This is the verse the whole abolition case rests on, so I’m going to spend real time on the other side before I answer it.


A note on names, as promised, on every post. I use Hebrew names for Hebrew people and Hebrew books, because those are the names the men who wrote them answered to. Here is the key.

Yeshua is Jesus. Sha’ul is Paul. Moshe is Moses. Ya’akov is James. Yochanan is John. Chanokh is Enoch. Yehoshua is Joshua. Avraham is Abraham. Yirmeyahu is Jeremiah, Yeshayahu is Isaiah, Yechezkel is Ezekiel. Bereshit is Genesis, Shemot is Exodus, Vayikra is Leviticus, Devarim is Deuteronomy. Yerushalayim is Jerusalem, Yehudah is Judah. Tanakh is the collection most people call the Old Testament. Brit Chadashah, which means new covenant, is what they call the New Testament. Torah is the first five books, and it means instruction.
