2. Diatheke: A “Will” or a “Covenant”? (v16-17).
“16For where there is a covenant, it is necessary that the death
of the one making it be represented. 17For a covenant is made
legally firm on the basis of dead victims, since it is not valid
while the one making it is alive.” (Sigurd Grindheim)
“16For where a will is involved, the death of the one who made it must be
established. 17For a will takes effect only at death, since it is not in force
as long as the one who made it is alive.” (ESV)
“For where there is a covenant, it is necessary that the death of the one making it be represented (by sacrifice, in order to demonstrate the curse under which they are placing themselves if they break the covenant). For a covenant is made legally firm on the basis of (a ritual involving) dead victims, since it is not valid while the one making it is alive (that is, unless one’s death is legally represented by the sacrificial animals.” (The Letter to the Hebrews, Sigurd Grindheim)
3. Bloodshed: Convicting or ? (v18-22).
