the covenant from Abraham and Moses was that God will take his people to the promised land. so all of abrahams children and descendents will live in the promised land

Answer:

There are three covenants. Two which God made with Abraham (Genesis ch.15 and Genesis ch.17), and one with Abraham's Israelite descendants in the time of Moses after the Exodus.

  • 1) In Genesis ch.15, the Covenant Between the Parts:
a) God informs Abraham of future events (the Egyptian exile)
b) God promises the land of Canaan (Israel) to Abraham's descendants
c) The covenant is finalized through a demonstration of God's presence (see Genesis 15:7-9 and 15:17).
  • 2) In Genesis ch.17, the covenant of circumcision:
a) The promises of many descendants (17:2,3) and of inheriting the land of Canaan are repeated (17:8), but the main thing in this covenant is the promise that God will be the God of Abraham (17:7, 17:8).
b) God promises that Abraham and Sarah will have a son (17:15-16), whom they will name Isaac (17:19) and who will be the continuation of God's covenant with Abraham (17:21).
c) The covenant itself is manifested through circumcision, for Abraham and his descendants (17:10).
  • 3) The covenant between God and the Israelite nation (see Exodus ch.19 and ch.24), was made in the time of Moses, with Moses serving as the messenger.
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.

The Israelites weren't the first nation that God offered the Torah to. In fact they were the very last nation; but they were the only ones to accept the Torah. With their acceptance of the Torah, the Israelites entered their eternal covenant with God as the keepers of the Torah.

Answer:The Torah is called the Book of the Covenant (Exodus 24:6), because the Covenant with God is maintained on our part by our observance of the Torah.

Answer:

The Torah is related to the Israelites' covenant because it embodies the ways of God and the instructions on how to live as per God's principles which required the Israelites to obey God, and God to be their God, which is the covenant.

No. The Torah or, "Teachings" are the first five books of The Bible. In those books is recorded the account at Mount Sinai when God made a covenant with Israel that if they abide by his law, He will bless them and He will be their God.

Answer:The first word in the above answer should have been "yes," since he goes on to affirm what the questioner is suggesting.

Yes: the covenant is the Torah itself, since it is the Torah which affirms God's relationship with the Israelites (see Exodus 19:5 and Deuteronomy 26:16-19); and it is the same Torah which they are called upon to obey (ibid).

a) The promises of many descendants (17:2,3) and of inheriting Canaan are repeated (17:8).
b) God will be the God of Abraham (17:7, 17:8).
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.Link: More about 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.

It was (and is) the undertaking in which the Jews would obey the Torah and God would hold them in esteem. See Deuteronomy 26:16-19.

The covenant is the contract between the Israelites and God, that He would have a special relationship with them and they would keep His Torah. See Exodus ch.19 and Deuteronomy 26:16-19.
