God not only revealed Himself, but He demonstrated Himself as a covenantal God by redeeming His people and making them His Nation on Earth. God states that He the LORD “brought” them out of the land of Egypt. In the land of Egypt, the people lived under the rule of Pharaoh. They were the slaves to Pharaoh, subject to his will. In Egypt, Pharaoh was Lord of the land, and was god through office. However, God in His power delivered His people from the hand of Pharaoh. That they may exit the land of Egypt to follow and worship God freely.
In two instances, God proved Himself covenantal. The first instance is in God creating the nation of Israel. The children of Jacob had entered the land of Egypt as a family, but exited Egypt as a great multitude, as the children of Israel. The people were no longer slaves in bondage to Pharaoh. Rather, God’s redemption from slavery and the land of Egypt made them His nation. The second instance of God proving himself covenantal is in God saving Israel from the Egyptians at The Red Sea crossing. In this account God instruct Moses to turn and camp at “Pi Hahiroth” in order to once again show Israel his great power and that He is God.

You may be wondering what in the world, is he saying, catching and foggy. What I am asking is do you see the continued theological theme that the author presents in this passage, which is prominent throughout the book of Exodus. This word theological comes from the root word theology that means “A religious belief system about God or ultimate reality” (Grenz 113). Simply put theology describes God, by identifying His characteristics or nature. In this passage, the author wants his audience to know that God is the covenantal deliverer. That is why the author records the words of God, “I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of
I have heard them crying out because of their slave drivers, and I am concerned about their suffering. So I have come down to rescue them from the hand of the Egyptians and to bring them up out of that land into a good and spacious land, a land flowing with milk and honey—the home of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites. And now the cry of the Israelites has reached me, and I have seen the way the Egyptians are oppressing them. So now, go. I am sending you to Pharaoh to bring my people the Israelites out of Egypt.” But Moses said to God, “Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh and bring the Israelites out of Egypt?” And God said, “I will be with you. And this will be the sign to you that it is I who have sent you: When you have brought the people out of Egypt, you will worship God on this mountain.” Moses said to God, “Suppose I go to the Israelites and say to them, ‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you,’ and they ask me, ‘What is his name?’ Then what shall I tell them?” God said to Moses, “I am who I am. This is what you are to say to the Israelites: ‘I am has sent me to you.’” God also said to Moses, “Say to the Israelites, ‘The Lord, the God of your fathers—the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob—has sent me to you.’ “This is my name forever, the name you shall call me from generation to generation. “Go, assemble the elders of Israel and say to

(Exodus, 3: 7-8). We once again see a God who doesn’t appear physically to the naked eye but does command directly. Moses is not as absolute in his trust in the Lord as compared to Abram. He questions his ability to lead the people to the promised land saying “When I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall say to me, What is his name? What shall I say unto them?”

With Noah’s covenant, God redefines his relationship with
As stated earlier, God had made a covenant with Abraham that he would give him people, place, presence,
Biblical covenant is “legal term denoting a formal and legally binding declaration of benefits to be given by one party to another, with or without conditions attached.” (Arnold) Biblical covenant is a part of God holy plan and they reveal enteral plan. Each covenant plays a part of God plan of salvation. The Mosaic covenant showed that being saved by works was impossible and reveals God’s Holy character the need of a savior. “The Mosaic Covenant was like the vassal treaties of the ancient Near East, where a more powerful king entered into a relationship with a lesser king.” Knowing the Bible)
Covenant is an agreement of faithfulness between G-d and his people and the central theme of Judaism. The agreement is that followers of G-d will believe in G-d and heed his words and He will love and support his followers unconditionally. This concept is illustrated in Genesis, Abraham worshipped G-d and followed his word and in return
The first covenant was between Moses and God. A covenant is like a contract between God and people. The contract says that if the people do as God says that they will be rewarded. In the covenant that God made with Moses, God promised that the Hebrews would have a perennate place to live. To get the reward the Hebrews had to only warship God and reject all others. The Hebrews also so had to live their life following the 10 Commandments.
Linafelt described the Hebrew Bible as containing, “some of the finest literature that we have, and biblical literature has begun to take its place among the classics of world literature” (1). The Hebrew Bible, composed of prose narrative texts, poetry and intricate literary characters, examines and records the wavering relationship between God and humans. While the connection God has with many literary characters, from Noah to Job serve to illuminate the bond between divine and the mortal, no fellowship is more important than that between God and Moses. Moses, whose presence is made aware in the Book of Exodus, unequivocally is one of the first protagonist in the Hebrew Bible. While he demonstrates the qualities of a literary hero; triumph above inner contention and trepidation, it is his obedience and rapport with God that validates genuine character progression of both Moses and God. Moses’ relationship with God yields allusions that divinity is a composition of both theology and humanism, as divinity weakens without piety and commitment.
Theologically, a covenant (used of relations between God and man) denotes a gracious undertaking entered into by God for the benefit and blessing of humanity and specifically of those who by faith receive the promises and commit themselves to the obligation which this undertaking involves. The Abrahamic Covenant is an unconditional covenant. God made
A covenant relationship can either be between God and man or between man and another man. The agreement between God and people called a divine covenant, that signify the relationship between people and God as expressed in the biblical
The goal of econometrics is to aid decision making in a business setting. By analyzing seemingly unrelated sets of information, economists hope to see correlations that may help make informed choices. (Ouliaris, 2012) Econometrics has its limitations-if data is incomplete or if the sampling period is insufficiently short the resulting information may not give the full picture as intended by the economists. (Ramcharan, 2012)
There are three main covenants in the Old Testament. The first covenant is the Abrahamic Covenant. God promised Abraham that he would be the father of a great nation (Genesis 12:2). God also promised him the land of Canaan (Genesis 12:7; 17:8), He
In a world which she defined as ‘social science fiction’, Margaret Atwood brings clarity and life to a situation many would deem unimaginable. Those who immerse themselves in her novel are still able to see it as a dystopian society and thus detach themselves from the text itself. The readers comprehend the apparent loss of freedom and pain that the characters go through and have the knowledge that they exist outside of this story; its happenings will not affect them. This very phenomenon is introduced in The Handmaid’s Tale when the main character recalls a time before the fall of society as they knew it. Regarding the stories in the newspaper, the main character says that “We were the people who were not in the papers. We lived in the
