The blessings of Abraham–and all of God's promises–are based upon a covenant
relationship with God. A covenant is an agreement between two people that make
promises to one another. The Hebrew word for covenant is b'rith, which means cutting.
Biblically, this refers to a custom in Old Testament times where two people making a
covenant passed through the bodies of slain animals after making an agreement.
When one “cut covenant” in Old Testament times, it involved a statement of the terms of
the agreement; an oath from each party; a curse upon whoever should break the
agreement; and the sealing of the covenant by a blood sacrifice. Violation of such a
covenant was considered a heinous act.
