Contract vs. Covenant

The Jewish people have a sacred covenant with God. 

The special relationship between the Jews and their God was established during an encounter between God and Moses on Mount Sinai.

On Mount Sinai God promised to care for the people of Israel, and they in turn promised to follow the Ten Commandments.

This event came to be known as the Sinai Covenant.

 Here are a few of the differences between a contract and covenant
