“Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second.”
Then he added, 'Behold, I have come to do your will.' He abolishes the first in order to establish the second — Christ's will-doing (poiēma) replaces the sacrificial system. Abolish (anairein) and establish (histanō) mark the decisive rupture: the old is set aside (not merely supplemented) so the new can be instituted.
