Verse 12
Hebrews 8:12
A covenant that would truly effect forgiveness.
Verse 13
Hebrews 8:13
That covenant aged and passed away. (Notice the verb tense.)
[Soon the temple sacrifices and priesthood would vanish in AD 70.]
The Law was nailed to the cross Colossians 2:14 when Christ died, now in AD 70 the ceremonial would end. ]
8:13 The fact that God introduces a New Covenant means that the first is obsolete. Since this is so, there should be no thought of going back to the law. Yet that is exactly what some of the professing believers were tempted to do. The author warns them that the legal covenant is outmoded; a better covenant has been introduced. They should get in step with God. BBS
