Abstract
This essay examines the covenants with Noah, Abraham, at Sinai,
and with David as they appear in their narrative sequence and contexts to show that
they either secure the divine presence for the sake of humanity or God’s people
(Noah, Abraham [Gen. 15]), David), or secure the pledge of God’s people to live in
accordance with divine instruction in the divine presence (Abraham [Gen. 17],
Sinai). The essay concludes that the theological theme of divine presence precedes
that of the covenants.
