‏ Hebrews 8:7

That first covenant ( η πρωτη εκεινη ). The word διαθηκη (covenant) is not expressed, but clearly meant by the feminine gender πρωτη.

Faultless ( αμεμπτος ). Old compound adjective for which see Lu 1:6; Php 2:15. The condition is second class and assumes that the old covenant was not "blameless," apparently a serious charge which he hastens to explain.

For a second ( δευτερας ). Objective genitive with διαθηκης understood. The conclusion with αν and the imperfect passive indicative ( εζητειτο ) is clearly a second-class condition. See a like argument in 7:11.
