Answer:

God's covenant to Abraham was that he would make him a father of many nations and his people must obey God and in return, God would guide and protect them and give them the land of Israel

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Israelite/Christian beliefs, God entered a covenant with Abraham to make him a great nation that others will look at and envy, give him great blessings, be an enemy to those who are enemies to him and bless anyone linked to him, either through marriage, friendships, alliance, etc.

God promised to give the descendants of Abraham the lands from the Nile River up to the Euphrates which would be called the Promised Land. Abraham was also to be the father of many nations and the whole of Caanan where there are milk and honey flowing.
