Oecumenius, on Heb 8:10

“For this is the testament which I will make to the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord: I will give my laws into their mind, and in their heart will I write them: and I will be their God, and they shall be my people:”

“"For this is the covenant." Which one? The New one. That is to say, "after those days." Which days? Some say, those of the Exodus, in which the Mosaic law was given; but it seems to me that it speaks of those days mentioned above: "Behold, the days are coming." After those days have passed, I will make such a covenant as you will hear next. "I will put my laws." I will establish, giving my laws, "on their hearts." For neither in letters was the new established, but through the Holy Spirit. And this is indicated by Christ speaking to the apostles. "He (that is, the Comforter) coming, will remind you and teach you all things." (Jn. 14:26) Do you see that the new is not in letters, but through the Holy Spirit? Therefore, consider how much greater the New Covenant is. "And I will be their God." This was accomplished through the gospel. For those who formerly worshiped idols, now having known the true God, have become His people.”
