The symbol of God's covenant with Abraham is circumcision, which was the physical sign of the covenant between God and Abraham's descendants. This practice was to be continued throughout generations as a reminder of God's promises to Abraham and his descendants.
Abraham lived the covenant out in the bible only on good faith.
Abraham made a covenant with God; and God swore also to Isaac and Jacob that He would uphold the covenant of Abraham with them too. For Joseph, no such statement or covenant was made. The earlier covenant applied to Joseph and all of his brothers equally and was not reiterated until the time of Moses.See also the Related Links.Link: The covenantLink: Abraham, Isaac and Jacob
The three major Jewish covenants are Noah's Covenant, Abraham's Covenant, the Mosaic Covenant (Moses' Covenant.)
The three covenants between God and Abraham include the Land Covenant, the Nation Covenant, and the Blessing Covenant. The Land Covenant promises Abraham and his descendants the land of Canaan as their eternal possession. The Nation Covenant assures that Abraham will be the father of a great nation, specifically the Israelites, who will become numerous. Finally, the Blessing Covenant states that through Abraham's lineage, all nations of the earth will be blessed, ultimately fulfilled in the coming of Jesus Christ.

Yes, if Abraham were to break his covenant with God, the consequences would likely involve a loss of the divine blessings and promises associated with that covenant. In biblical narratives, breaking the covenant could lead to a separation from God's favor and protection. However, the covenant with Abraham is often portrayed as unconditional, emphasizing God's commitment rather than Abraham's performance. Still, the idea of accountability within the covenant relationship remains significant in theological discussions.
