This scripture in Hebrews speaks of a new covenant with the house of Israel [with the seed of Abraham]. You should know: Everyone who expresses faith in Christ Jesus is an adopted son of Abraham, even as natural Jews who express no faith in Christ are no longer scripturally considered the seed of Abraham. (Galatians 3:7 ; Romans 4:16 ; Romans 9:6-8; Galatians 3:26-29) This scripture speaks of blessings which come to you, if you place faith in Christ Jesus as the son of God. (John 17:3)

Hebrews 8:10-12 NWT
10 "'For this is the covenant that I shall covenant with the house of Israel after those days,' says Jehovah. 'I will put my laws in their mind, and in their hearts I shall write them. And I will become their God, and they themselves will become my people. 11 "'And they will by no means teach each one his fellow citizen and each one his brother, saying: "Know Jehovah!" For they will all know me, from [the] least one to [the] greatest one of them. 12 For I shall be merciful to their unrighteous deeds, and I shall by no means call their sins to mind anymore.'"

(11) "And by no means shall they teach each his fellow-citizen, and each his brother [and sister], saying, 'Know the LORD,' because all will know Me from [the] least of them to [the] greatest.
