Covenant

A "Covenant" is a formal, solemn, and binding agreement or promise, often in a legal, historical, or religious context. It is typically a contract or a pledge between two or more parties to either perform or refrain from a certain action. In religious contexts, it often refers to an agreement between God and His people, where God makes promises to His people and requires certain behavior from them in return.
