Did Peter's Vision of the Sheet Mean People & Food?

I haven't heard anyone from hebrew origin call it the renewed covenant.The only place I hear it is amongst messianics. The word chadash means new .The verse itself tells you its new since it says it is not like the previous one

On the night where Rosh Chodesh Iyar enters, I would like to refer you to an article on OU.org- that stands for Orthodox Union, concerning Rosh Chodesh, as an example that, indeed, it does have the meaning of renewal: http://www.ou.org/chagim/roshchodesh/

It says, "On a deeper level, Rosh Chodesh symbolizes renewal, the ability of the Jewish People to rise up from oblivion and restore itself to its past greatness. Just as the moon disappears at the end of each month, but returns and grows to fullness, so Israel may suffer exile and decline, but it always renews itself - until the coming of the Messiah, when the promise of the Exodus and the Revelation at Sinai will be fulfilled, never to be dimmed again."

The Malbim says, on the passage in Jer 31, that the "new/renewed" covenant will be different in that it was possible for Israel to sin, unlike in the 'renewed/new' covenant where it will not be possible for Israel to sin. Obviously, this would be connected to the removal of the 'spirit of impurity' from the earth prophecy.

Be well.
