The Biblical Covenants - The Covenant with Israel

The Covenant at Sinai can be called the Israelite Covenant because, by it, God formally established His covenant relationship with the Hebrew people following their captivity in Egypt. But this action was nothing more than God remembering and upholding His covenant promise to Abraham to be the God of his descendants. The Abrahamic Covenant and its particulars are the essential backstory and substance of the covenant at Sinai (Law of Moses) and provide the necessary lens for understanding it and its role in the salvation history.
