CERTAIN PRINCIPLES THAT ARE BEING ESTABLISHED IN THE 9th CHAPTER OF HEBREWS:
1) “Covenant” is far different from “Testament”…effectively as far apart as Law is from Mercy and Grace.
2) THE HIGH PRIEST OFFICE LOOKS TO THE FORGIVENESS OF SIN and Redemption. WHEREAS THE MEDIATOR OFFICE LOOKS ON TO THE REST AND INHERITANCE.
3) WHAT IS THE NECESSITY OF THE SACRIFICE? IT IS NOT THAT CONTRARY MAY EXIST, BUT RATHER FOR GOD’S PRESENCE AND INFLUENCE. (Not sure what you meant by ‘it is not that contrary may exist?’)
4) The “eternal inheritance” is God’s gift to believers, through theTestament/Will of our Lord Jesus Christ.
5) It must be understood that the ‘Gospel Covenant’ is apart from the New Covenant with Israel. The New Covenant being in abeyance (temporary cessation or suspension) now since the Jews rejected it at Christ’s First Coming. (See Hebrews 8:8… “For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah…”) And now the call to Jew and Gentile is the “Gospel of the New Man” until the 2nd Coming of Christ, when the “New Covenant” with Israel will then be established.

HEBREWS 9 VERSE 15 has just brought the idea of a new inheritance into view through Jesus Christ’s Blood. Whose inheritance? Israel’s in the first place; for it was them only who were under the first testament…. “And For this cause looks backwards to the first testament and Covenant, an earthly promised inheritance after Israel was called and redeemed out of Egypt. And so Jesus Christ, in contrast to Moses, is the Mediator of this new testament. The argument being set forth is that if the blood of animals in that First Testament had sanctifying and purifying power, (and that for atonement of sins and drawing nigh unto God in the flesh, in the realizing of the earthly inheritance) how much more then the Blood of the 2nd Testament, and Covenant of Christ should effect a new and greater inheritance; an eternal inheritance in the calling out of the new man in Christ. (Ephesians 2) This eternal inheritance was first then, as it should be, offered to the Jew and then to the Gentile. (See Romans 1:16… “For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.” Here, “salvation” refers to the FULLNESS of salvation - an inheritance of eternal glory and not only eternal life.) Also see Romans 9:4)
(Note in verse 15 that Paul interchanged the word “death” for blood. Being that the death of the testator being required is more readily understood.) VERSES 16-17 “For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator.”

A Testament may be one person or a party, but a Covenant takes more than one person. A Covenant does not require blood; but a Testament must have the death of the testator and the proof of it. That is in other words, their blood, in order that the Will may be adjudicated. VERSES 18-21 “Whereupon neither the first testament was dedicated without blood.” THE FIRST TESTAMENT is a reference to that ratifying with blood of Exodus 24:6-7, where the first testament was established upon the death/blood of bulls and of goats, thereby held forth as the “testator”. The Just idea being “… without shedding of blood is no remission (cancellation of a debt).” [HEBREWS 9:22b]

From whence came that idea? At the Creation of Man, the implied Covenant in the Garden between God and Adam is that all will be well unless Adam disobeys God’s Command of not eating from the Tree of knowledge of good and evil. (Genesis 2:17) And when Adam and Eve rebelliously broke the Covenant Law, they suffered the accompanying Curse pronounced in the Covenant. “In the sweat of your face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken; for dust thou art, and unto dust shall thou return.” [Genesis 3:19] Adam’s sin broke the Covenant and brought the curse of “death” from God on man, as proclaimed, in dual manifestation form.
Spiritual death (in that day {24 hours})
Physical death (in that day {1000 years - see 2nd Peter 3:8}, as Adam lived to be almost 1000 )

It is the 21st verse of Genesis 3 where we comprehend that the blood of animals was introduced to Covenant with Adam and his seed in order to extend mercy and to“partially” redeem. “Unto Adam also and to his wife did...
