The covenant.
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 Abrahamic Covenant.

There are both bad gods and good gods when it comes to the Egyptian gods.
God swore two main promises to Abraham that's potentially transferrable to ALL OF MANKIND. To make of him and his descendants A GREAT NATION... and that THROUGH HIM [that is; the FAITH that he displayed through his actions] ALL THE NATIONS [families: all of mankind] OF THE EARTH WOULD BE BLESSED [that is; the promise of Salvation through the Messiah whose descent is traced through Abraham].Ultimately, the "Great Nation" promised to Abraham translates into the GOOD NEWS [gospel] of the COMING KINGDOM OF GOD, that only those who shall be saved through the Messiah's Salvation shall inherit and enter into.And only those who "BELIEVE" in the God of Abraham [who was and is Jesus Christ; the Almighty Creator God of the Old Testament - see John 1:3] or who in other words "possess the Faith of Abraham" may regard themselves as Abraham's children, and, subsequently, may consider themselves heirs of the Promise."Even as Abraham BELIEVED God... Know ye therefore that THEY WHICH ARE OF FAITH [that is: they who also BELIEVE God as Abraham did], THE SAME ARE THE CHILDREN OF ABRAHAM." (Gal.3:6"And IF YE BE CHRIST'S [who was and is Abraham's God], THEN ARE YE ABRAHAM'S SEED, and HEIRS ACCORDING TO THE PROMISE..." (verse 29).If the Faith [the BELIEFS] of Abraham, therefore, is in you... then you are an HEIR of THE PROMISE OF SALVATION. Because Abraham is one of God's Heirs of His Kingdom... and His Salvation.

Actually, Abraham might not e a good example of patience. He was promised a son. He waited for many years, that showed patience. But when it didn't look like God was going to fulfill the promise, he and Sarah matters into their own hands and tried to come up with a son on their own.

-----------------------When three men appeared to Abraham in the plains of Mamre (Genesis 18), we are left in no doubt that the Lord was present and no attempt is made to assert that the men were angels. In the original Hebrew, they are described as elohim, or 'gods'. Not real gods, but gods of myth. Abraham negotiated with one of the gods, the Lord, to spare the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah if good men could be found to live there. Here, the Lord was the God of the Israelites. Recognising that the three were in some way divine, not merely angels, Bruce Feiler (Abraham) tries to rationalise the presence of three Lords by saying that God appeared at once as three men, and was not just one of the men.In the biblical account, this meeting occurred just before the destruction of Sodom and is traditionally placed somewhere around 2000 BCE.

The LAND God promised Abraham is THE WHOLE WORLD!"For the PROMISE, that HE SHOULD BE THE HEIR OF THE WORLD, was not to Abraham, or to his seed, through the law, but through the righteousness of faith." (Rom.4:13)Ultimately... this is the GOSPEL [GOOD NEWS] of Jesus Christ [the Creator God of the Old Testament - John 1:3 & 10], which is the glory of the coming KINGDOM OF GOD UPON THE EARTH.Speaking about the unfaithful in the coming Judgment. Jesus says:"...I know you not whence ye are: depart from Me, all ye workers of iniquity. There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when YE SHALL SEE ABRAHAM, ISAAC, AND JACOB, AND ALL THE PROPHETS, IN THE KINGDOM OF GOD, and you yourselves thrust out." (Luke 13:27-28)The LAND the Lord promised Abraham is THE EARTH."... if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and HEIRS ACCORDING TO THE PROMISE." (Gal.3:29)The Christian's "inheritance" is the same as Abraham's - the EARTH - not heaven. Nowhere in The Bible is the phrase: "the Promised Heaven"... but, "the Promised Land." And it's the earth.
