‏ Hebrews 8:9

8:9 ^a God made a covenant with their ancestors at Sinai (Exod 19:1-8 ^b; 24:7-8 ^c; 34:27-28 ^d; Deut 4:13 ^e).

• I took them by the hand: In rescuing his people from the land of Egypt, God led them as a parent might lead a child that could not fend for itself (see Exod 12–14 ^f).

• They did not remain faithful: See Heb 3:7-19 ^g; Num 14:1-38 ^h; Deut 9 ⁱ; Ps 106 ^j.

• so I turned my back on them: The covenant warned that if the people turned away, God would turn away from them (see Deut 28:15-68 ^k; 30:11-20 ^l; 1 Kgs 8:22-53 ^m; 2 Chr 6:12-42 ⁿ).
