‏ Hebrews 8:9

 In the day that I took them ( εν ημερα επιλαβομενου μου ). Genitive absolute ( μου and second aorist middle participle of  επιλαμβανω ), "a Hellenistic innovation" (Moffatt) in imitation of the Hebrew after  ημερα in place of  εν η επελαβομεν, occurring also in Barn. 2:28.

 By the hand ( της χειρος ). Technical use of the genitive of the part affected.

 To lead them forth ( εξαγαγειν αυτους ). Second aorist active infinitive of  εξαγω to denote purpose.

 For they continued not ( οτ αυτο ουκ ενεμειναν ). First aorist active indicative of  εμμενω, old verb to remain in (Ac 14:22). The Israelites broke the covenant. Then God annulled it.

 I regarded not ( ημελησα ). "I neglected" as in 2:3. The covenant was void when they broke it.
