The first covenant (as early Jews turned Christian might have called it) didn’t include a mediator because it was simply the humanly impossible conditions of loving perfectly to return to God. The “new” covenant (the one that Heavenly father planned for from the start because He knew that any other path was too narrow for men) relied on a mediator who had the capacity to keep the first covenant for himself and the reserve strength to bring the children of men along through His merits.
