Answer:

The covenant is a promise that God made with Abraham.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the covenant, God would offer protection and land to Abraham and his descendants, but they must follow the path of God. God then commanded Abraham and his future generations to perform the ritual of circumcision (brit milah) as a symbol of the covenant
