Hebrews 8:8-13
New King James Version
8 Because finding fault with them, He says: (A)“Behold, the days are coming, says the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah— 9 not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they did not continue in My covenant, and I disregarded them, says the Lord. 10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the (B)Lord: I will put My laws in their mind and write them on their hearts; and (C)I will be their God, and they shall be My people. 11 (D)None of them shall teach his neighbor, and none his brother, saying, ‘Know the (E)Lord,’ for all shall know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them. 12 For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, (F)and their sins [a]and their lawless deeds I will remember no more.”
13 (G)In that He says, “A new covenant,” He has made the first obsolete. Now what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away.

The Covenant That Was Sealed
28 (A)Now the rest of the people—the priests, the Levites, the gatekeepers, the singers, the Nethinim, (B)and all those who had separated themselves from the peoples of the lands to the Law of God, their wives, their sons, and their daughters, everyone who had knowledge and understanding— 29 these joined with their brethren, their nobles, (C)and entered into a curse and an oath (D)to walk in God’s Law, which was given by Moses the servant of God, and to observe and do all the commandments of the Lord our Lord, and His ordinances and His statutes: 30 We would not give (E)our daughters as wives to the peoples of the land, nor take their daughters for our sons; 31 (F)if the peoples of the land brought [a]wares or any grain to sell on the Sabbath day, we would not buy it from them on the Sabbath, or on a holy day; and we would forego the (G)seventh year’s produce and the (H)exacting[b] of every debt.
32 Also we made ordinances for ourselves, to exact from ourselves yearly (I)one-third of a shekel for the service of the house of our God: 33 for (J)the showbread, for the regular grain offering, for the (K)regular burnt offering of the Sabbaths, the New Moons, and the set feasts; for the holy things, for the sin offerings to make atonement for Israel, and all the work of the house of our God. 34 We cast lots among the priests, the Levites, and the people, (L)for bringing the wood offering into the house of our God, according to our fathers’ houses, at the appointed times year by year, to burn on the altar of the Lord our God (M)as it is written in the Law.
35 And we made ordinances (N)to bring the firstfruits of our ground and the firstfruits of all fruit of all trees, year by year, to the house of the Lord; 36 to bring the (O)firstborn of our sons and our cattle, as it is written in the Law, and the firstborn of our herds and our flocks, to the house of our God, to the priests who minister in the house of our God; 37 (P)to bring the firstfruits of our dough, our offerings, the fruit from all kinds of trees, the new wine and oil, to the priests, to the storerooms of the [c]house of our God; and to bring (Q)the tithes of our land to the Levites, for the Levites should receive the tithes in all our farming communities. 38 And the priest, the descendant of Aaron, shall be with the Levites (R)when the Levites receive tithes; and the Levites shall bring up a tenth of the tithes to the house of our God, to (S)the rooms of the storehouse.
39 For the children of Israel and the children of Levi (T)shall bring the offering of the grain, of the new wine and the oil, to the storerooms where the articles of the sanctuary are, where the priests who minister and the gatekeepers (U)and the singers are; and we will not (V)neglect the house of our God.

So the inhabitants of Jerusalem did according to the covenant of God, the God of their fathers. 33 Thus Josiah removed all the (D)abominations from all the country that belonged to the children of Israel, and made all who were present in Israel [a]diligently serve the Lord their God.
