Does anyone know why the Old and New Testaments are called 'testaments' instead of the Old and New 'Covenants'? Thanks

Because the Latin word for covenant is "testamentum," and the names come from the Vulgate.

NKJ Matthew 26:28 "For this is My blood of the new covenant, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.

VUL Matthew 26:28 hic est enim sanguis meus novi testamenti qui pro multis effunditur in remissionem peccatorum

NKJ Mark 14:24 And He said to them, "This is My blood of the new covenant, which is shed for many.

VUL Mark 14:24 et ait illis hic est sanguis meus novi testamenti qui pro multis effunditur

NKJ Luke 1:72 To perform the mercy promised to our fathers And to remember His holy covenant,

VUL Luke 1:72 ad faciendam misericordiam cum patribus nostris et memorari testamenti sui sancti

NKJ Luke 22:20 Likewise He also took the cup after supper, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in My blood, which is shed for you.

VUL Luke 22:20 similiter et calicem postquam cenavit dicens hic est calix novum testamentum in sanguine meo quod pro vobis funditur

NKJ Acts 3:25 "You are sons of the prophets, and of the covenant which God made with our fathers, saying to Abraham, 'And in your seed all the families of the earth shall be blessed.'

VUL Acts 3:25 vos estis filii prophetarum et testamenti quod disposuit Deus ad patres vestros dicens ad Abraham et in semine tuo benedicentur omnes familiae terrae

NKJ Acts 7:8 "Then He gave him the covenant of circumcision; and so Abraham begot Isaac and circumcised him on the eighth day; and Isaac begot Jacob, and Jacob begot the twelve patriarchs.

VUL Acts 7:8 et dedit illi testamentum circumcisionis et sic genuit Isaac et circumcidit eum die octava et Isaac Iacob et Iacob duodecim patriarchas

NKJ Romans 11:27 For this is My covenant with them, When I take away their sins."

VUL Romans 11:27 et hoc illis a me testamentum cum abstulero peccata eorum

NKJ 1 Corinthians 11:25 In the same manner He also took the cup after supper, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in My blood. This do, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me."

VUL 1 Corinthians 11:25 similiter et calicem postquam cenavit dicens hic calix novum testamentum est in meo sanguine hoc facite quotienscumque bibetis in meam commemorationem

NKJ 2 Corinthians 3:6 who also made us sufficient as ministers of the new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.

VUL 2 Corinthians 3:6 qui et idoneos nos fecit ministros novi testamenti non litterae sed Spiritus littera enim occidit Spiritus autem vivificat

NKJ Galatians 3:15 Brethren, I speak in the manner of men: Though it is only a man's covenant, yet if it is confirmed, no one annuls or adds to it.

VUL Galatians 3:15 fratres secundum hominem dico tamen hominis confirmatum testamentum nemo spernit aut superordinat

NKJ Galatians 3:17 And this I say, that the law, which was four hundred and thirty years later, cannot annul the covenant that was confirmed before by God in Christ, that it should make the promise of no effect.

VUL Galatians 3:17 hoc autem dico testamentum confirmatum a Deo quae post quadringentos et triginta annos facta est lex non irritam facit ad evacuandam promissionem

NKJ Hebrews 7:22 by so much more Jesus has become a surety of a better covenant.

VUL Hebrews 7:22 in tantum melioris testamenti sponsor factus est Iesus

NKJ Hebrews 8:6 But now He has obtained a more excellent ministry, inasmuch as He is also Mediator of a better covenant, which was established on better promises.

VUL Hebrews 8:6 nunc autem melius sortitus est ministerium quanto et melioris testamenti mediator est quod in melioribus repromissionibus sanctum est

NKJ Hebrews 8:7 For if that first covenant had been faultless, then no place would have been sought for a second.

VUL Hebrews 8:7 nam si illud prius culpa vacasset non utique secundi locus inquireretur

NKJ Hebrews 8:8 Because finding fault with them, He says: "Behold, the days are coming, says the LORD, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah --

VUL Hebrews 8:8 vituperans enim eos dicit ecce dies veniunt dicit Dominus et consummabo super domum Israhel et super domum Iuda testamentum novum

NKJ Hebrews 8:9 "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 did not continue in My covenant, and I disregarded them, says the LORD.

VUL Hebrews 8:9 non secundum testamentum quod feci patribus eorum in die qua adprehendi manum illorum ut educerem illos de terra Aegypti quoniam ipsi non permanserunt in testamento meo et ego neglexi eos dicit Dominus

NKJ Hebrews 8:10 "For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the LORD: I will put My laws in their mind and write them on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people.

VUL Hebrews 8:10 quia hoc testamentum quod disponam domui Israhel post dies illos dicit Dominus dando leges meas in mentem eorum et in corde eorum superscribam eas et ero eis in Deum et ipsi erunt mihi in populum

NKJ Hebrews 8:13 In that He says, "A new covenant," He has made the first obsolete. Now what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away.

VUL Hebrews 8:13 dicendo autem novum veteravit prius quod autem antiquatur et senescit prope interitum est

NKJ Hebrews 9:1 Then indeed, even the first covenant had ordinances of divine service and the earthly sanctuary.

VUL Hebrews 9:1 habuit quidem et prius iustificationes culturae et sanctum saeculare

NKJ Hebrews 9:4 which had the golden censer and the ark of the covenant overlaid on all sides with gold, in which were the golden pot that had the manna, Aaron's rod that budded, and the tablets of the covenant;

VUL Hebrews 9:4 aureum habens turibulum et arcam testamenti circumtectam ex omni parte auro in qua urna aurea habens manna et virga Aaron quae fronduerat et tabulae testamenti

NKJ Hebrews 9:15 And for this reason He is the Mediator of the new covenant, by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions under the first covenant, that those who are called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance.

VUL Hebrews 9:15 et ideo novi testamenti mediator est ut morte intercedente in redemptionem earum praevaricationum quae erant sub priore testamento repromissionem accipiant qui vocati sunt aeternae hereditatis

NKJ Hebrews 9:18 Therefore not even the first covenant was dedicated without blood.

VUL Hebrews 9:18 unde ne primum quidem sine sanguine dedicatum est

NKJ Hebrews 9:20 saying, "This is the blood of the covenant which God has commanded you."

VUL Hebrews 9:20 dicens hic sanguis testamenti quod mandavit ad vos Deus

NKJ Hebrews 10:16 "This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, says the LORD: I will put My laws into their hearts, and in their minds I will write them,"

VUL Hebrews 10:16 hoc autem testamentum quod testabor ad illos post dies illos dicit Dominus dando leges meas in cordibus eorum et in mente eorum superscribam eas

NKJ Hebrews 10:29 Of how much worse punishment, do you suppose, will he be thought worthy who has trampled the Son of God underfoot, counted the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified a common thing, and insulted the Spirit of grace?

VUL Hebrews 10:29 quanto magis putatis deteriora mereri supplicia qui Filium Dei conculcaverit et sanguinem testamenti pollutum duxerit in quo sanctificatus est et Spiritui gratiae contumeliam fecerit

NKJ Hebrews 12:24 to Jesus the Mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling that speaks better things than that of Abel.

VUL Hebrews 12:24 et testamenti novi mediatorem Iesum et sanguinis sparsionem melius loquentem quam Abel

NKJ Hebrews 13:20 Now may the God of peace who brought up our Lord Jesus from the dead, that great Shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant,

VUL Hebrews 13:20 Deus autem pacis qui eduxit de mortuis pastorem magnum ovium in sanguine testamenti aeterni Dominum nostrum Iesum

NKJ Revelation 11:19 Then the temple of God was opened in heaven, and the ark of His covenant was seen in His temple. And there were lightnings, noises, thunderings, an earthquake, and great hail.

VUL Revelation 11:19 et apertum est templum Dei in caelo et visa est arca testamenti eius in templo eius et facta sunt fulgora et voces et terraemotus et grando magna
