In the Bible there are many covenants, which are extremely significant ideas because through a series of covenants, God enters people's lives and unites them. The idea of the covenant was described by Hugenberger as follows: “A covenant, in its normal sense, is an elective, as opposed to natural, relationship of obligation under oath.” (Jefferey 10) His definition follows that of Mendenhall, who defines covenant more broadly as a “solemn promise made binding by an oath, which may be a verbal formula or a symbolic oath.” Like a covenant, a contract is also a binding agreement between two parties that defines the conditions and obligations of each party and also represents commitments, promises and obligations. For example, God protects and guides his people who are slaves in Egypt through covenants. The government creates laws to allow everyone to share equal rights and responsibilities. This reveals that alliances and contracts are usually made by the stronger party to protect the weaker party. Instead, pacts have much more varied forms. They can be conditional, unconditional or even possess both characteristics. There are several conditional promises made by God to mankind, as revealed in the Bible. In particular, I want to introduce the Mosaic Covenant, which is conditioned and founded on the Ten Commandments given by God. This covenant, which begins in Exodus 19, contains the foundation of the written and oral Torah, as well as God's promises to make the Israelites a his special possession among all peoples and “a kingdom of priests and a holy nation,” if “[they] obey the voice [of God] and keep [his] covenant.” (Exodus 19:5) This covenant demonstrates that God requires absolute loyalty and obedience from his people. The Israelites must obey the commandments of the Torah to receive God's blessing and finally fulfill the covenant. This means that remaining in the land depends on their obedience. the Covenant of Phinehas is unconditional, that is, regardless of people's obedience or disobedience, God still gives Phinehas a sign to remind Noah and his descendants of his covenant promise, God “placed the rainbow in the clouds” (Genesis 9:12-13). Just as circumcision was the sign of the Abrahamic Covenant, the rainbow is the sign of the Noahic Covenant. This alliance always reminds us of God's faithfulness and his extraordinary grace. God is a holy and just God who has a generous heart to forgive the sins of his people. Furthermore, just as God provided a way for Noah and his family to be saved in the ark, He also provided a way for us to be saved through Jesus Christ. Noah and his family were saved from the wrath of God that came in the flood. God's covenants are made first with the nation of Israel and ultimately with all humanity because of God's great love for his
