"covenant" isn't in the text.
it just says "new"
as in,
John 13:34
A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another.
by saying "new" He makes the old obsolete.
and we are not talking about Paul, @Rainrider - we are talking about Christ, God dwelling among His people.

“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:
Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers In the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; Because they continued not in my covenant, And I regarded them not, saith the Lord. ( the law of Moses )
For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel After those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, And write them in their hearts: And I will be to them a God, And they shall be to me a people: And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, And every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: For all shall know me, From the least to the greatest. For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, And their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.
( now that sentance makes sense ) In that he saith, A new, he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away.”
Hebrews 8:8-13 KJV

“For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law. For there is verily a disannulling of the commandment going before for the weakness and unprofitableness thereof. For the law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of a better hope did; by the which we draw nigh unto God.”
Hebrews 7:12, 18-19 KJV
even from chapter one
“God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, ( ot )
hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, ( the gospel and nt ) whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;”
Hebrews 1:1-2
“For if the word spoken by angels was stedfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompence of reward; ( ot )
how shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, ( gospel ) and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him; God also bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders, and with divers miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost, according to his own will?”( New Testament )
Hebrews 2:2-
“For ye are not come unto the mount that might be touched, and that burned with fire, nor unto blackness, and darkness, and tempest, and the sound of a trumpet, and the voice of words; which voice they that heard intreated that the word should not be spoken to them any more: (for they could not endure that which was commanded, And if so much as a beast touch the mountain, it shall be stoned, or thrust through with a dart: ( the giving of Moses law )
but ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels, to the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect, and to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, ( the gospel Jesus words ) and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel. See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not who refused him that spake on earth, ( Moses word ot law )
much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaketh from heaven:”( Jesus word nt)
Hebrews 12:18-20, 22-25 KJV
