In Hebrew, the word for "covenant" is "בְּרִית" (berit), which signifies a solemn agreement or contract. This covenant is reminiscent of ancient Near Eastern treaties, where a suzerain (a powerful king) would establish a relationship with a vassal (a lesser king or people). In this context, God is the suzerain, and Israel is the vassal. The covenant at Sinai, where God gave the Law through Moses, is central to understanding Israel's identity and mission. It was not merely a legal contract but a relational bond, calling Israel to be a holy nation and a kingdom of priests (Exodus 19:6).
