Best Answer

The Edenic covenant is the first covenant between God and man.

Genesis 1:28, Genesis 2:8, Genesis 2:15-17

The covenant was an agreement to reward the creature if certain conditions were faithfully fulfilled and a penalty if the conditions were violated, in one word, obedience.

As reward/recompense for labour of obedience the man and the woman could eat freely of the food in the garden except for one tree. Being obedient to this one condition would assure the man and the woman fellowship with God and never ending life (Gen 3:22). God warned them that disobedience would mean loss of fellowship with God - spiritual death.

When was the first blood covenant made in the Bible?

Genesis 3:22Another Answer:The Edenic Covenant with Adam in the Garden of Eden - sometimes called the "Covenant of Works" and is the first covenant that God made directly with man (Genesis 2:16-17). Disobeying this covenant as noted in Hosea 6:7, had its negatives of toiling the ground all the days of human life. The Scripture does not mention a blood sacrifice as humans were probably vegetarian then.But God did not give up on mankind, and shortly after the expulsion from the Garden of Eden, God made another covenant with Adam & Eve of redemption (see Genesis 3:14-24) pointing to the future sacrifice of Jesus. There have been others afterwards, ending with the New Covenant that was only instituted at the Last Supper with the symbolic cup of wine representing Christ's blood. It will be fully implemented during the Millennial Reign.All Covenants between God and mankind are contracts of marriage. The Old Covenant ended when Jesus died - effectively the death of the groom.
