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–

“ Take this scroll of the law and place it beside the ark of the covenant of the LORD your God. It will remain there as a witness against you,

but as a reminder to us and you, and to our descendants who follow us, that we will honor the LORD in his very presence with burnt offerings, sacrifices, and tokens of peace. Then in the future your descendants will not be able to say to our descendants,‘ You have no right to worship the LORD.’

Laban said,“ This pile of stones is a witness of our agreement today.” That is why it was called Galeed.

Then when many disasters and distresses overcome them this song will testify against them, for their descendants will not forget it. I know the intentions they have in mind today, even before I bring them to the land I have promised.”

That day Joshua drew up an agreement for the people, and he established rules and regulations for them in Shechem.Joshua wrote these words in the Law Scroll of God. He then took a large stone and set it up there under the oak tree near the LORD’s shrine.Joshua said to all the people,“ Look, this stone will be a witness against you, for it has heard everything the LORD said to us. It will be a witness against you if you deny your God.”

While I am still alive, extend to me the loyalty of the LORD, or else I will die!Don’t ever cut off your loyalty to my family, not even when the LORD has cut off every one of David’s enemies from the face of the earthand called David’s enemies to account.” So Jonathan made a covenant with the house of David.Jonathan once again took an oath with David, because he loved him. In fact Jonathan loved him as much as he did his own life.

At that time Abimelech and Phicol, the commander of his army, said to Abraham,“ God is with you in all that you do.Now swear to me right here in God’s name that you will not deceive me, my children, or my descendants. Show me, and the land where you are staying, the same loyalty that I have shown you.”Abraham said,“ I swear to do this.”But Abraham lodged a complaint against Abimelech concerning a well that Abimelech’s servants had seized.“ I do not know who has done this thing,” Abimelech replied.“ Moreover, you did not tell me. I did not hear about it until today.”Abraham took some sheep and cattle and gave them to Abimelech. The two of them made a treaty.Then Abraham set seven ewe lambs apart from the flock by themselves.Abimelech asked Abraham,“ What is the meaning of these seven ewe lambs that you have set apart?”He replied,“ You must take these seven ewe lambs from my hand as legal proof that I dug this well.”That is why he named that place Beer Sheba, because the two of them swore an oath there.So they made a treaty at Beer Sheba. Then Abimelech and Phicol, the commander of his army, returned to the land of the Philistines.

Now write down for yourselves the following song and teach it to the Israelites. Put it into their very mouths so that this song may serve as my witness against the Israelites!

They replied,“ We could plainly see that the LORD is with you. So we decided there should be a pact between us– between us and you. Allow us to make a treaty with youso that you will not do us any harm, just as we have not harmed you, but have always treated you well before sending you away in peace. Now you are blessed by the LORD.”So Isaac held a feast for them and they celebrated.Early in the morning the men made a treaty with each other. Isaac sent them off; they separated on good terms.

“ This pile of stones and the pillar are reminders that I will not pass beyond this pile to come to harm you and that you will not pass beyond this pile and this pillar to come to harm me.
