the covenant
The term "covenant" in Hebrew is "בְּרִית" (berit), which signifies a solemn agreement or promise. In the biblical context, a covenant is not merely a contract but a divine commitment initiated by God. This covenant with Abraham is foundational to the narrative of the Israelites, representing God's unchanging promise to His people. It underscores the faithfulness of God, who binds Himself to His word, offering assurance and hope to believers that His promises are eternal and unbreakable.

He made
The phrase "He made" indicates the active role of God in establishing the covenant. It is God who initiates and fulfills His promises, emphasizing His sovereignty and grace. This action reflects God's desire to engage with humanity, choosing Abraham as the patriarch through whom He would bless all nations. It is a reminder of God's proactive love and His willingness to enter into a relationship with His creation.

with Abraham
Abraham, originally Abram, is a central figure in the Bible, known as the father of faith. His account begins in Genesis, where God calls him to leave his homeland and promises to make him a great nation. Abraham's faith and obedience are pivotal, as he trusts in God's promises despite not seeing their immediate fulfillment. This highlights the importance of faith in the believer's life, trusting in God's plan even when it is not fully visible.

and the oath
An "oath" in this context is a solemn promise, often invoking God as a witness. The Hebrew word "שְׁבוּעָה" (shevu'ah) conveys a binding commitment. God's oath to Isaac reaffirms the covenant made with Abraham, demonstrating the continuity and reliability of God's promises across generations. It serves as a testament to God's unchanging nature and His dedication to fulfilling His word.

He swore
The act of swearing an oath by God is significant, as it underscores the seriousness and certainty of His promises. In human terms, an oath is a guarantee of truthfulness, and when God swears an oath, it is the ultimate assurance of His faithfulness. This divine swearing is a powerful reminder that God's word is trustworthy and that He is committed to His people.

to Isaac
Isaac, the son of Abraham and Sarah, is the child of promise through whom God's covenant would continue. His life is a testament to God's faithfulness, as he inherits the promises given to Abraham. Isaac's role in the biblical narrative highlights the importance of generational faithfulness and the transmission of God's promises from one generation to the next. It encourages believers to hold fast to God's promises and to pass on their faith to future generations.

(9) Made.--Literally, cut; the usual word for making a covenant (icere f?dus). The word is therefore here a synonym for "league," as in Haggai 2:5.

Verse 9. - Which covenant he made with Abraham (see Genesis 15:18). A promise was given even earlier (Genesis 12:14, 15); but it is not spoken of as a "covenant." And his oath unto Isaac. The "oath" was originally sworn to Abraham (Genesis 22:16); but a further promise to "perform the oath" was given to Isaac (Genesis 26:3).
