Best Answer

The covenant between Jews and HaShem (The Creator) is referred to as "Avraham's Covenant". In terms of concept, there are several levels to this covenant.

  1. It refers to a material blessing: "I will make of you a great nation..."
  2. The promise by HaShem to safeguard Avrahams descendants and nurture them.
  3. The relationship between Avraham's descendants and the rest of humanity, Avraham became responsible for the physical and spiritual welfare of the entire world.

There is also the 'brit milah' - male circumcision. It's with the brit milah that a Jewish male confirms the covenant that HaShem created with Avraham.

Additionally, a covenant between man and HaShem is an eternal covenant, it cannot be broken or ended.
