Commentary— Tyndale Open Study Notes (plain English)
26:28 the covenant: Under God’s covenant with Israel, the blood of sheep or goats (Exod 12:5, 13; 24:8) was shed and placed on the two doorposts and on the lintel at Passover (Exod 12:7). The blood of Jesus, the sinless Lamb of God, establishes a new covenant (see Jer 31:31). The idea of the covenant is God’s unilateral commitment to establish salvation for mankind, fulfilling the promise to Abraham (see Gen 12; Gal 3:15-29; 4:12-31). • to forgive the sins of many: Jesus shed his blood as a sacrifice for sin (see Jer 31:31-34; Mark 14:24). Some have understood many to refer only to God’s chosen people, while others have understood many to be an expression meaning “all” (cp. Matt 20:28).
