A covenant is a binding agreement between two parties, often with specific terms and conditions. A testament, on the other hand, is a legal document that outlines a person's wishes after their death, usually in relation to their assets and belongings. In religious contexts, the terms may refer to agreements with God and a person's will or declaration of faith.
