Remember they refer to him as Father Abraham, the covenant started with him, not with Moses or even the children of Israel. |
Because
Hebrews 8 refers to the covenant God made with the Israelites when he led them out of Egypt. Since it refers to this covenant, we don’t go back to the Abrahamic covenant.
We are following the context of
Hebrews 8.
The only dumb question is the one that is not asked.
