Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(24) And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant.--Rather, a new covenant. There is another change in the Greek which it is not easy to-express. In all other places in which we read of the New Covenant (Hebrews 8:8; Hebrews 8:13; Hebrews 9:15; Luke 22:20; 1Corinthians 11:25; 2Corinthians 3:6) a word is used which implies newness of kind and quality; here it is a covenant which is newly made--literally "young," having all the freshness of youth in comparison with that which long since was waxing old (Hebrews 8:13). Here also if we follow the order of the original (see Hebrews 2:9; Hebrews 3:1; Hebrews 12:2, et al.), the description precedes, and the name "Jesus" follows, thus standing between the words which describe His covenant and those which speak of His blood. . . .
