From testārī (“to testify”) + -mentum (noun suffix). The biblical sense came about as a confused rendering of Ancient Greek διαθήκη (diathḗkē, “covenant, or (alternatively) will, testament”

Thanks Blue Bird.
But the Christian bible does say something about a "better" covenant, as the old one wasn't faultless.
I disagree because I do not think anything G-d does has fault. It is the people that are at fault, not G-d's covenant in my opinion.
