In this reading, what covenant(s) do we learn about?
Answer From The Annual Reading Schedule - Week 2 Notes For Genesis:
-
There are the following covenant(s):
• Between Yahweh and Noach (Noah) (Genesis 6:18, 9:9)
• Between Yahweh and Noach and his seed after him (Genesis 9:9)
• Between Yahweh and Noach and every living creature (Genesis 9:12, 15)
• Between Yahweh and the land (Genesis 9:13)
• Between Yahweh and every living creature (Genesis 9:16-17)
It is interesting that Genesis 9:9 mentions Noach's (Noah's) seed which sounds similar to the covenant with Avraham (Abraham) and his seed in Genesis 17:7. I can't fully tell if all covenants mentioned from Genesis 6-9 are one and the same, or if this is referring to two covenants: one to not destroy the life and land with flood waters, and another specifically for Noach's seed referring to Avraham, Yitschaq (Isaac), Ya'acov (Jacob), Dawiyd (David), etc. on down to Yahushua the Anointed.
