Hebrews chapter 9.

In the eighth chapter of the book of Hebrews, he makes mention of the
prophecy in Jeremiah where God said that in those days He was going to
make a new covenant with the people, not like the old covenant which was
written on the tables of stone. He was going to write His law on the
fleshly tablets of their hearts. Now, in the declaration that God is
going to make this new covenant, it means that the first covenant would
be set aside in order that He might establish the new covenant.

When Jesus took the emblems of Passover, He said, "This cup is a new
covenant in my blood which is shed for the remission of sins" (Matthew
26:28). So, the old covenant had the remission of sins through the
offering of sacrifices by the priests and on the Day of Atonement by the
high priest. But God has established a new covenant, not written on the
tables of stone, but God writes His law right on the fleshly tablets of
our hearts. So the first covenant has been set aside that God might
inaugurate this new covenant through Jesus Christ.

So going on still in chapter 9, carrying over the thought of chapter 8,
he is still talking about this new covenant relationship that we have
with God and contrasting it with that first covenant that was under the
law. Remember the covenant under the law, God said, "And if they will do
them, they shall live by them." The first covenant of the law was, "If
you will obey Me and all of these statutes, then I will be your God."
And the first covenant was established on man\
