	Covenant - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The covenant is an important concept in Jewish and Christian thinking, derived in the first instance from the biblical covenant tradition.
		The term covenant could be used in English to refer to either the Bundesbrief of 1291, or the Pfaffenbrief of 1370, documents which led to the formation of the Swiss state or "Eidgenossenschaft".
		Under the common law a covenant was distinguished from an ordinary contract by the presence of a seal.

		In this sense, covenants are more or less obsolete in the American, England, and other jurisdictions that use the tradition of common law; seals no longer have much significance, especially after the adoption of reforms that affected contracts, such as the Uniform Commercial Code which allows contracts to be formed with fewer formalities.
		The word covenant is also given to certain privately arranged rules that attach to specific tracts of real property; usually these state restrictions on how the land can be used, and thus are generally known as restrictive covenants.
		Covenant theology in particular focuses on various covenants between God and Israel, and between God and the Christian church; Dispensationalism, on the other hand,uses the terminology in a different sense, although the imagery of covenants is maintained.

	Bahá'í Faith - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
		Bahá'ís have high regard for what is termed the "Greater Covenant", which they see as universal in nature, and from "time immemorial" has been carried through by the Manifestations of God of all ages.
		They also regard highly the "Lesser Covenant", which is viewed as unique to each revelation, and incorporates the distinguishing characteristics of these.
		With unity as an essential teaching of the Faith, Bahá'ís follow an administration that they believe is divinely ordained, and therefore see attempts to create schisms and divisions as insignificant, doomed efforts which are contrary to the teachings of Bahá'u'lláh.

		The name Abraham was given to Abram (and the name Sarah to Sarai) at the same time as the covenant of circumcision (chapter 17), which is practiced in Judaism and Islam to this day.
		The covenant was to be fulfilled through Isaac, though God promised that Ishmael would become a great nation as well.
		The covenant of circumcision (unlike the earlier promise) was two-sided and conditional: if Abraham and his descendants fulfilled their part of the covenant, Yahweh would be their God and give them the land.

		It is by the Sabbath that knowledge of God and a relationship with him is acquired; and it is a sign that identifies his people, as distinguished from those who are not his people (Exodus 31:13, 31:17).
		In this regard, the Sabbath was deemed so important to God, that he made it a covenant, separate and distinct from the covenant at Sinai (Exodus 31:16).
		The force of Hebrews 3:11-4:11 then seems to be saying that because Christians look toward the eternal rest of heaven, the type or shadow of the earthly Sabbath rest still remains, or is "left behind", literally, for Christians to observe.
