Testament [1]
tes´ta - ment : The word διαθήκη , diathḗkē , almost invariably rendered "covenant," was rendered in the King James Version "testament" in Hebrews 9:16 , Hebrews 9:17 , in the sense of a will to dispose of property after the maker's death. It is not easy to find justification for the retention of this translation in the Revised Version (British and American), "especially in a book which is so impregnated with the language of the Septuagint as the Epistle to the Hebrews" (Hatch). See Covenant In The New Testament .
