The word “covenant” is, in the Old Testament, the Hebrew word “berith” and is used several times in different texts. Some scholars say it is difficult to find a true meaning of the word covenants. You will hear the word covenant throughout the Old Testament. I think sometimes when we hear the word alliance, only one or two alliances come to mind. There are many covenants in the Bible. I will attempt to define and explain five alliances. These five covenants are: the Noahic Covenant, the Abrahamic Covenant, the Mosaic Covenant, the Davidic Covenant and the Fifth Covenant or the (New Covenant). In these particular covenants we will find the promises that God has made to his people. In this article, I will attempt to answer the following questions: which of these alliances are unconditional and which explicitly depend on the fidelity of the human partner? I will attempt to describe and explain the Fifth Covenant and its importance to New Testament theology. The first covenant I will begin with is the Noah Covenant. Noah's Covenant is a covenant that many people may have heard of, because of the story of Noah and the Ark. Stephen Harris and Robert Platzner stated in The Old Testament An Introduction to the Hebrew Bible that in Noah's Covenant, "God embraces all forms." of life as equally frightened, emphasizing the interdependence between humans, animals and birds, and the earth itself (16). Harris and Platzner give us the definition of the Noah's Covenant, as "A bond between God and every living creature, this covenant is universal and eternal" (16). The New King James Version of the Holy Bible explains how and why the Noah Covenant came to be. It says in Genesis 9:11-13: "I establish my covenant with you: never bind yourself... middle of paper...... it has a special meaning, but one thing is certain , is that it seems as if God is the one who made the covenant and wants man to keep our part of the covenant.
