It was called a Covenant with Israel.
A
biblical covenant is a
religious covenant that is described in the
Bible. All
Abrahamic religionsconsider biblical covenants important.
The
Hebrew Bible contains the
Noahic Covenant (in
Genesis), which is between God and all people, as well as a number of more specific covenants with individuals or groups. Biblical covenants include those with Abraham, the whole Israelite people, the Israelite priesthood, and the Davidic lineage of kings. In form and terminology, these covenants echo the kinds of treaty agreements in the surrounding ancient world.
