the new elevates the old

The rabbi will likely have a better word for it;
he has a great section on this topic in his book..

About the relationship between old and new,
and Matt 5:17-21:

someone has said

"The New Covenant did not abolish the Old, it elevated it."

They footnote that word with:

Isaiah 42:21 “…He will magnify the Law and make it honorable.” Honor figures heavily into the marital covenant!

Of course, eleven out of ten regulars around this blogthing will get why I love that choice
of words.
