Greek Commentary for Hebrews 8:9
Genitive absolute Technical use of the genitive of the part affected. To lead them forth Second aorist active infinitive of εχαγω exagō to denote purpose. For they continued not First aorist active indicative of εμμενω emmenō old verb to remain in (Acts 14:22). The Israelites broke the covenant. Then God annulled it.

Present active imperative in prohibition of αμελεω ameleō old verb, rare in N.T. (Matthew 22:5; 1 Timothy 4:14; Hebrews 2:3; Hebrews 8:9). From αμελης amelēs Use with genitive. [source]
See Hebrews 7:22; Hebrews 8:6, Hebrews 8:8, Hebrews 8:9, Hebrews 8:10; Hebrews 9:15. For covenant, see on Hebrews 9:6ff. For the new covenant, rend. a new covenant. Νέα newonly here applied to the covenant in N.T. The word elsewhere is καινή . For the distinction, see on Matthew 26:29. It is better not to press the distinction, since νεός , in certain cases, clearly has the sense of quality rather than of time, as 1 Corinthians 5:7; Colossians 3:10, and probably here, where to confine the sense to recent would seem to limit it unduly. In the light of all that the writer has said respecting the better quality of the Christian covenant, superseding the old, outworn, insufficient covenant, he may naturally be supposed to have had in mind something besides its mere recentness. Moreover, all through the contrast from Hebrews 12:18, the thought of earlier and later is not once touched, but only that of inferior and better; repellency and invitation; terrors and delights; fear and confidence. Note that the privilege of approaching the Mediator in person is emphasized. [source]
This great fact is not to be overlooked (Philemon 2:10.).

To the blood of sprinkling As in Hebrews 9:19-28. Than Abel Accusative as in Hebrews 1:4. Better Comparative of καλος kalos Abel‘s blood still speaks (Hebrews 11:4), but it is as nothing compared to that of Jesus. [source]
