A covenant is a working agreement between two parties. The author of Hebrews attempts to persuade his audience to set aside the Old Covenant and to follow the New Covenant instead. These covenants are too different to follow both at the same time. For example, the Old Covenant is based on law and the New Covenant is based on grace. The covenants are contrasted throughout and a table at the end summarizes the differences.
