Hebrews 8 is the eighth chapter of the Epistle to the Hebrews in the New Testament of the Christian Bible. The author is anonymous, although the internal reference to "our brother Timothy" ( Hebrews 13:23) causes a traditional attribution to Paul, but this attribution has been disputed since the second century and there is no decisive evidence for the authorship. [1] [2] This chapter contains the exposition about the better ministry of the New Covenant. [3] [4]
This chapter appears under the subheading "Jesus, High Priest of a Better Covenant" in the ESV and "Mediator of a Better Covenant" in the NRSV English language translations of the New Testament.
The original text was written in Koine Greek. This chapter is divided into 13 verses.
Some early manuscripts containing the text of this chapter are:
This section serves as an introduction to the homily about the New Covenant based on Jeremiah 31:31-34. [7]
Citing Exodus 25:40
Following the introduction, oracle in Jeremiah 31:31-34 is discussed as the word of God (according to NRSV; the text of Jeremiah also claims 'the Lord' as the speaker). [7]
