The promise between God and Abraham, that his children will be the chosen people and be as numerous as the sand in the seashore and stars in the sky.
This covenant is accepted upon all Jewish males and this forms part of the significance of the circumcision which occurs at the age of 8 days old.
Answer 2
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:
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:
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.

Why is Moses more important than Abraham in the Jewish religion?
Moses is considered more important than Abraham in the Jewish religion because he is regarded as the greatest prophet and leader in Judaism. Moses is credited with receiving the Torah directly from God at Mount Sinai and leading the Israelites out of slavery in Egypt. His role in delivering the Ten Commandments and establishing the covenant between God and the Jewish people solidifies his significance in Jewish tradition. Abraham, on the other hand, is revered as the patriarch of the Jewish people and the first to enter into a covenant with God, but Moses' pivotal role in shaping Jewish law and history elevates his importance in Jewish theology.

Why do Jews find the term Old Testament offensive?
A Jewish person would consider it offensive because it could insinuate that that the Torah is no longer valid, having been replaced by something new (New Testament). Usually, Jews do not find the term Old Testament offensive, just inapt. The Old Testament is different from the Jewish Bible or Tanakh in that it has additional books, a different order to the books, different translations of key words (usually in support of Christology) and additional material in certain books. As a result, the Jews prefer to say that they read the Tanakh than that they read the Old Testament.
