How is the two-way responsibility of the covenant between God and Israel reflected in the Shema?
Hear (listen; understand) O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is One (Deuteronomy 6:4). This verse is central to Judaism probably more than any other single verse. It summarizes our belief.
Our side of the covenant: the first two words of the Shema are in the imperative: a command. They tell us to think about God, to be aware of Him, and never to lose sight of His oneness and uniqueness. The verse is obliquely warning us against idolatry; which, to those who later went astray (Judges ch.2), became the gateway for other sins as well.
God's side of the covenant: the Shema calls the Lord "our God," referring to God's considering us as a treasure (Exodus 19:5).

What was the covenant between the Isralites and Moses?
I think the covenant was between Israel and God. When the children of Israel arrived at Sinai that was the beginning of the nation of Israel. God had set them apart from other nations and He asked for their obedience...... "if you will obey.......the you will be a special treasure to Me above all people; for all the earth is Mine". (Exodus 19:5-8). "And all the people answered All that the LORD has spoken we will do."
The outward sign of the covenant between God and the Hebrews was?
In the Old Testament, the covenant between Yahweh and His people Israel (the Hebrews) progressed through multiple stages, and at least two signs were attached to it. When God called Abraham and established a covenant with Abraham and his descendants, He appointed circumcision as the sign of the covenant: "You shall be circumcised in the flesh of your foreskins, and it shall be the sign of the covenant between me and you" (Genesis 17:11 ESV). Circumcision is the most prominent "sign" of the covenant between God and the Hebrews. However, at Mount Sinai, God also established the Sabbath as a sign or token of His covenant with Israel; see Exodus 31:12-18 and Ezekiel 20:11-20. (Earlier on, the rainbow had functioned as the sign of God's covenant with Noah and his family; see Gen. 9:17.)
