Covenant

 

The Covenant began with Yahowah speaking and its beneficiary listening and responding. It is the most highly recommended approach…

“Yahowah (Yahowah) said to (‘amar ‘el) ‘Abram (‘Abram), ‘It is of your own freewill to approach by walking away from (halak la ‘atah min) your country (‘erets ‘atah), away from (wa min) your society and culture (mowledeth), and from (wa min) your father’s household (beyth ‘ab ‘atah) to the Land (el ha ‘erets) which bestows the blessings of the relationship that I will show you (‘asher ra’ah ‘atah).” (12:1)

“And so he completely trusted in and relied upon (wa ‘aman ba) Yahowah (Yahowah). Therefore, based upon this thinking, He credited it (wa chashab huw’) to him as being correct and thus vindicated (tsadaqah la huw’).” (15:6)

“Then (wa) Yahowah (Yahowah) was seen, appearing to (ra’ah ‘el) ‘Abram (‘Abram). He said to him (wa ‘amar ‘el huw’), ‘I Am God, Almighty (‘any ‘el shady). Choose of your own volition to walk by yourself (halak) towards My presence (la paneh ‘any). You will thereby (wa) enjoy becoming genuinely (hayah) perfect, right, and totally fulfilled (tamym) (17:1) such that (wa) I can choose to give (nathan) My Covenant (beryth ‘any) for the purpose of understanding by making connections between Me and you (bayn ‘any wa ‘atah wa byn ‘atah). In addition (wa), I will increase every aspect of your nature (rabah ‘eth ‘atah) to the greatest extent and highest degree possible (ba me’od me’od).” (17:2)

“So as for you (wa ‘atah ‘eth), you should closely examine and carefully consider (shamar ‘atah) My Covenant (beryth ‘any). In addition, so should your offspring you conceive (wa zera’ ‘atah) following you (‘achar ‘atah) so that they might approach throughout their generations (la dowrym hem).” (Bare’syth / In the Beginning / Genesis 17:9)
