Covenants from a
Scriptural Perspective

The Promises, the Terms and the Sign

Introduction

The word Covenant is often tossed about like a theological buzzword — recited, assumed, but rarely understood in its ancient Hebraic context. To grasp the heartbeat of Scripture, one must return to the soil from which it grew: a land of shepherds and sojourners, of blood and blessing, where words were binding and promises were etched in life itself.

 

In the Hebrew Scriptures, a Covenant is not merely a contract — it is a binding oath, a sacred bond sealed in trust, sacrifice, and mutual obligation. It is a living relationship, not a legal loophole. Unlike modern agreements made with ink and signatures, Hebraic Covenants were often cut with blood, walked between with trembling feet, and upheld not only by the hands of men, but by the very character of YHWH Himself.

 

This study invites you to peel back the layers of tradition and translation to uncover the beauty, severity, and enduring faithfulness of the covenants recorded in the Torah and beyond. What did they mean to the people of ancient Israel? What do they demand of us today? And what happens when a Covenant is broken — or worse, replaced?

​

Prepare to walk among the ancient stones where vows were spoken, and consider:

 

Have we honored the Covenants of our Creator…

or have we forgotten them beneath layers of religion?
