The story of Noah is a creation story and its purpose was to help explain where we came from and why things are the way they are. In this story, God made a great flood that covered the whole earth but, after the flood subsided, made a covenant with Noah that he would never again send a flood to destroy humanity. The sign of his covenant was the rainbow.
The story of Abraham, in the form we have today, was a story of the Hebrew people. Its purpose was to help explain where the people came from and why they lived in the land of Israel. The covenant had two important parts: to make Abraham the father of many nations and to make him the father of a great nation. As an Israelite legend, this meant that the great nation would be Israel. Thus the Israelites learnt that they were descended from a great leader who had come from Ur of the Chaldees to live in the Promised Land, but not yet to settle and own it to the exclusion of others. The sign of God's covenant would be the circumcision of all Abraham's male descendants.
The covenant between God and Noah symbolizes God's promise to never again destroy the world with a flood. It serves as a sign of God's grace and mercy towards humanity, providing reassurance and hope for the future.
The first covenant in the Bible is the covenant between God and Noah after the Great Flood, where God promises to never again destroy the world with a flood and establishes the rainbow as a sign of this covenant.
Noah was not a part of any covenant. Perhaps you are thinking of something else.Answer:The above answer is mistaken. The Hebrew word for Covenant is in fact mentioned two times between God and Noah (in Genesis ch.6 and ch.9). However, unlike God's covenant with Abraham, the one with Noah concerned physical matters only: surviving the Flood, and that there will be no more worldwide deluge.
In Genesis god makes a covenant with Noah that he would not destroy the earth with a flood again. The rainbow is the covenant.
From the Bible:Genesis 9:8- says: And God went on to say to Noah and to his sons with him: 9 "And as for me, here I am establishing my covenant with YOU men and with YOUR offspring after YOU, 10 and with every living soul that is with YOU, among fowls, among beasts and among all living creatures of the earth with YOU, from all those going out of the ark to every living creature of the earth. 11 Yes, I do establish my covenant with YOU: No more will all flesh be cut off by waters of a deluge, and no more will there occur a deluge to bring the earth to ruin.Answer:God actually made two covenants with Noah. One (Genesis 6:18) was to preserve him during the Flood, and the other (Genesis ch.9) was to refrain from sending another worldwide flood.Note also that these covenants differed from the Covenants with Abraham (Genesis ch.15 and 17) in that Abraham's covenants included spiritual elements - a relationship with God; while the covenants of Noah were promises of God concerning physical matters.
The three major Jewish covenants are Noah's Covenant, Abraham's Covenant, the Mosaic Covenant (Moses' Covenant.)
David's covenant. Noah's covenant. Abraham's covenant.
Genesis chapter 9 is about gods covenant with Noah.
Depends upon how you view the first covenant. If the first covenant was with Adam and Eve, then the second covenant was with Noah (Genesis 6:18). If the first true convenant was with Noah, then the second covenant was with Abraham. (Genesis 15:18)
Noah's Ark.Abraham was born ten generations (about 350 years) after Noah, coming through the line of Noah's son Shem(Genesis 11:10-28).

There are several covenants mentioned in the Old Testament, including the covenant with Noah, Abraham, Moses, and David.
God's first covenant was with noah, stating that he will never destroy the earth with water again and established the rainbow as a promise.

The covenant with Noah. God choosing Abraham. God Forms his people of Israel. Gods revelation in Jesus christ.
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.
