Abrahamic Covenant

Introduction

Within religious text, there exist two different agreement or covenant types. Which are known as covenants of promise and suzerainty treaties. Suzerainty treaties are referred to suzerain or great king and vassal state. Both these agreements are different in their properties. The prominent example of suzerainty treaties are Mosaic or Sinaitic covenant in Bible.
