What was the second covenant?
The second covenant in the Bible is the covenant between God and Noah, commonly known as the Noahic Covenant. This covenant was established after the Great Flood and was a promise from God to never again destroy the world with a flood. It also included the sign of the rainbow as a symbol of this covenant.
Who was God's first chosen patriarch?
That depends upon what you mean by "chosen." Noah was chosen (with his family) by God, to survive the Flood (Genesis 6), but not for a Divine covenant of status for his descendants. Abraham was chosen by God to father a nation that would serve God and have His covenant forever (Genesis 17). It eventually became clear that out of Abraham's children and grandchildren, only Isaac and Jacob (and Jacob's descendants) would continue in God's covenant (Genesis 26 and 28). Jacob fathered the Israelites.
Why were the chosen people chosen?
The Israelites believed they were the chosen people. Each nation in ancient times had a patron god, who they may have believed to have chosen them. The other nations have long since adopted new religions or disappeared from history, but the Jews have survived because of God's covenant, so we have their tradition of a chosen people.AnswerIn Judaism, the phrase 'chosen' does not mean that we think that we are better than anyone else or have an elevated status before God. What 'chosen' refers to is that we were chosen to keep the Torah, that is it. What most people don't know is that according to Jewish teachings, God actually offered the Torah to every other nation before the Israelites but we were the only ones to accept it without question.Judaims teaches that there are different paths to God and Judaism is the path for Jews. The Torah provides the guidelines for the Jewish path.Answer:They were chosen specially by the Most High because of the covenant with Abraham, a friend of the Most High who searched for Him when many were turning to stone and wood and graven images to worship. Though many had gone, and have gone astray, though they are the seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the Most High still loves them and those who turn to Him, and will keep the covenant He has with them.
What do Jews believe about the Covenant G-d has made with them?
In the Book of Genesis God made a covenant with Abraham. God was to watch over us and make Abraham's descendents as numerous as the stars in the sky. We were also promised our own land, a land flowing with milk and honey. This is our covenant.
What is the covenant of works?
It is not in the Bible as such but part of Protestant theology. The general idea is that those who are to be saved are already pre-chosen. The "normal" way to "identify" if someone is pre-chosen is to examine what works or good deeds they do. These good deeds are the reason why God, in his infinite wisdom, would have chosen that person for entry. This is called a Covenant of Grace. Of course, not everyone who does good deeds is necessarily one of the pre-chosen because of some other defect or future misdeed that is to be counted. These people, who in life appear as good as the pre-chosen are actually not chosen. This is called a Covenant of Works. See link below:

What are the 4 covenants of Judaism?
Pick any three you want: 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; and see also 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 sacrifices described in Exodus ch.24.
