Covenants

That day the Lord made a covenant with Abram: "To your descendants I give this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the Euphrates River --

Then I will confirm my covenant between me and you, and I will give you a multitude of descendants."

He took the Book of the Covenant and read it aloud to the people, and they said, "We are willing to do and obey all that the Lord has spoken."

The Lord said to Moses, "Write down these words, for in accordance with these words I have made a covenant with you and with Israel."

The service

When you enter the land that the Lord will give to you, just as he said, you must observe this ceremony.

He built a hedge around it, removed its stones, and planted a vine. He built a tower in the middle of it, and constructed a winepress. He waited for it to produce edible grapes, but it produced sour ones instead.
