{Ye} (Humeis). Emphatic position. {The covenant which God
made} (	(8873) diath(886b)(8873) h(8873) ho theos dietheto). Literally, "the
covenant which God covenanted." Diath(886b)(885c) and dietheto (second
aorist middle indicative of diath(886d)i) are the same root. See on
 Mt 26:28 . The covenant (agreement between two, dia, tith(886d)i)
was with Abraham ( Ge 12:1-3 ) and repeated at various times ( Ge
18:18  22:18  26:4 , etc.). In  Heb 9:15-18  the word is used
both for covenant and will. The genitive relative h(8873) attracted
to case of the antecedent.
