The covenant between Jews and HaShem (The Creator) is referred to as "Avraham's Covenant". In terms of concept, there are several levels to this covenant.
- It refers to a material blessing: "I will make of you a great nation..."
- The promise by HaShem to safeguard Avrahams descendants and nurture them.
- The relationship between Avraham's descendants and the rest of humanity, Avraham became responsible for the physical and spiritual welfare of the entire world.
There is also the 'brit milah' - male circumcision. It's with the brit milah that a Jewish male confirms the covenant that HaShem created with Avraham.
Additionally, a covenant between man and HaShem is an eternal covenant, it cannot be broken or ended.
