There are three covenants. Two were between God and Abraham (Genesis ch.15 and ch.17).
- In Genesis 15:
b) God promises the land of Canaan (Israel) to Abraham
- In Genesis ch.17:
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 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.
