Not sure how to interpret as Moses was God's prophet but seems Jesus is proclaiming a new covenant based on faith in Him.

You’re on target there. The Epistle to the Hebrews does a good job of distinguishing between the old covenant and new covenant centering naturally on Jesus’s role. It seems to me not so much a new and different covenant but rather the old covenant perfected and completed in the new with Jesus perfectly representing and reconciling all the participants. Fully God. Fully Man. A Prophet. The Sacrificing High Priest. The unblemished Sacrificial Lamb.

Hebrews 9:11-15
But when Christ appeared as a high priest of the good things to come, He entered through the greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this creation; and not through the blood of goats and calves, but through His own blood, He entered the holy place once for all, having obtained eternal redemption.

For if the blood of goats and bulls and the ashes of a heifer sprinkling those who have been defiled sanctify for the cleansing of the flesh, how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without blemish to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?

For this reason He is the mediator of a new covenant, so that, since a death has taken place for the redemption of the transgressions that were committed under the first covenant, those who have been called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance.

The Lord will deliver on his promises. He will deliver the Truth, there is only one interpretation of the Law of the one true God. It stands the test of time, and it has not changed. The Lord will deliver his people, you can bank on that.
