The Jewish covenant is a sacred agreement between the Israelites and God. The first covenant was made by God with Abraham, then renewed with his son Isaac and Isaac's son Jacob. This covenant was symbolized by circumcision. God was to make the Jewish nation great (Genesis ch.17) and give them the Holy Land (Genesis ch.15).
The covenant of the Ten Commandments was that the Jewish people would possess the Holy Land and have good, long lives - so long as they followed God's commandments.

∙ 6y agoThere are three covenants. Two were between God and Abraham (Genesis ch.15 and ch.17).
- In Genesis 15:
b) God promises the land of Canaan (Israel) to Abraham
- In Genesis ch.17:
c) Abraham and Sarah will have a son (17:15-16), Isaac (17:19), who will continue God's covenant (17:21).
d) Circumcision, for Abraham and his descendants (17:10).
The third covenant was with Abraham's Israelite descendants in the time of Moses.The full text of the third covenant is actually the Torah itself, because it lists all our commands and beliefs. That is why the Torah is called The Book of the Covenant.

This covenant is one of obedience, to listen to God's voice (Exodus 19:5), which will include the entire Torah (24:12). God, for His part, promised to treasure the Israelites (Exodus 19:5, Deuteronomy 26:16-19). The covenant was manifested through God's giving the Ten Commandments (Exodus ch.19-20), and was finalized (on our part) through the offerings described in Exodus ch.24.
