The Septuagint translators and New Testament authors chose diatheke because in its original use, before the Greeks came to use it to mean "testament," it had reference to what is called "the disposition for ones self."
A diatheke had to do with an individuals disposition of his goods or property for himself; that is, it referred to his sovereign determining of his heirs. To this day, thats how we understand the concept of a testament or will.
That aspect of disposition is an element that reflects the Hebrew concept because in His covenant, God sovereignly determines to give promises to whom He will give promises. He made a covenant with Abraham, not Hammurabi. He chose the Jews, not the Philistines. He entered into a covenant relationship with them and said, ”I will be your God and you will be my people." Thats a choice God made, not the Jews. So, even though the Greek word diatheke includes aspects that dont overlap with the Hebrew notion of a covenant, it carries the key notion of sovereign determination.
~ DR. R. C. SPROUT

Septuagint的翻譯者和新約聖經的作者之所以選擇diatheke對berith作為「聖約」，是因為在最初的用法中，diatheke在希臘人將其用作「遺囑」之前就已經用來「行使自己的意向」。diatheke與個人對自己的物品或財產的處置有關，也就是說，這是指他對繼承人的主權決定。到目前為止，這就是我們理解diatheke遺囑或心願的概念。
「意向」的這一方面反映了希伯來語berith的概念，因為在祂的約中，上帝主權地決定向祂應許的人許下應許。祂與亞伯拉罕立約，而不是與巴比倫尼亞王Hammurabi立約。祂選擇了猶太人，而不是非利士人。祂與他們建立了契約關係，並說：「我將成為你的上帝，你將成為我的子民。」這是上帝的選擇，而不是猶太人。因此，儘管希臘語diatheke一詞包含了不涵蓋希伯來語中的盟約所有的概念，但有著主權決定的關鍵概念。
