10. A contract or agreement between two parties. The corresponding word in the New Testament is used
    
    (1) of a covenant or compact between man and man (Genesis 21:32), or between tribes or nations (1 Samuel 11:1; Joshua 9:6,15). In entering into a covenant, Jehovah was solemnly called on to witness the transaction (Genesis 31:50), and hence it was called a “covenant of the Lord” (1 Samuel 20:8). The marriage compact is called “the covenant of God” (Proverbs 2:17), because the marriage was made in God’s name. Wicked men are spoken of as acting as if they had made a “covenant with death” not to destroy them, or with hell not to devour them (Isaiah 28:15, 18).
    The word is used with reference to God’s revelation of himself in the way of promise or of favor to men. Thus God’s promise to Noah after the Flood is called a covenant (Genesis 9; Jeremiah 33:20, “my covenant”). We have an account of God’s covenant with Abraham (Genesis 17, comp. Leviticus 26:42), of the covenant of the priesthood (Numbers 25:12, 13; Deuteronomy 33:9; Nehemiah 13:29), and of the covenant of Sinai (Exodus 34:27, 28; Leviticus 26:15), which was afterwards renewed at different times in the history of Israel (Deuteronomy 29; Joshua 1:24; 2 Chronicles 15; 23; 29; 34; Ezra 10; Nehemiah 9). In conformity with human custom, God’s covenant is said to be confirmed with an oath (Deuteronomy 4:31; Psalm 89:3), and to be accompanied by a sign (Genesis 9; 17). Hence the covenant is called God’s “counsel,” “oath,” “promise” (Psalm 89:3, 4; 105:8-11; Hebrews 6:13-20; Luke 1:68-75). God’s covenant consists wholly in the bestowal of blessing (Isaiah 59:21; Jeremiah 31:33, 34). The term covenant is also used to designate the regular succession of day and night (Jeremiah 33:20), the Sabbath (Exodus 31:16), circumcision (Genesis 17:9, 10), and in general any ordinance of God (Jeremiah 34:13, 14). A “covenant of salt” signifies an everlasting covenant, in the sealing or ratifying of which salt, as an emblem of perpetuity, is used (Numbers 18:19; Leviticus 2:13; 2 Chronicles 13:5).
