‏ Acts 3:25

Ye ( Hυμεις ). Emphatic position.

The covenant which God made ( της διαθηκης ης ο θεος διεθετο ). Literally, "the covenant which God covenanted." Διαθηκη and διεθετο (second aorist middle indicative of διαθημ ) are the same root. See on Mt 26:28. The covenant (agreement between two, δια, τιθημ ) was with Abraham (Ge 12:1-3) and repeated at various times (Ge 18:18; 22:18; 26:4, etc.). In Heb 9:15-18 the word is used both for covenant and will. The genitive relative ης attracted to case of the antecedent.
