The first covenant (η πρωτη). Supply διαθηκη as in Hebrews 9:1.

Has been dedicated (ενκεκαινιστα). Stands dedicated. Perfect passive indicative of ενκαινιζο, a late verb in LXX, one papyrus, and in N.T. only here and Hebrews 10:20. It means to renew, to inaugurate (1. Samuel 11:14; 2. Chronicles 15:8) and in 1. Kings 8:63 to dedicate. Note τα ενκαινια (John 10:22) for the feast of dedication.
