- to make a covenant:
- To renew that covenant under which the whole people were constantly considered, and of which circumcision was the sign, and the spirit of which was, "I will be your God, ye shall be my people." "And they enteredª° into a covenantª to seekª°¹ the LORDª Godª of their fathersª with all¹ their heartª and with all¹ their soul;ª ... That whosoever¹¹ would not¹ seekª° the LORDª Godª of Israelª should be put to death,ª° whetherª smallª or¹ great,ª whether manª¹ or¹ woman.ª" {2Ch 15:12-13} + "And Jehoiadaª madeª° a covenantª between¹ him, and between¹ all¹ the people,ª and between¹ the king,ª that they should be¹ the LORD'Sª people.ª" {2Ch 23:16} + "And the kingª went upª° into the houseª of the LORD,ª and all¹ the menª of Judah,ª and the inhabitantsª° of Jerusalem,ª and the priests,ª and the Levites,ª and all¹ the people,ª greatª¹ and small:ª and he readª° in their earsª¹ all¹ the wordsª of the bookª of the covenantª that was foundª° in the houseª of the LORD.ª ... And he caused¹ all¹ that were presentª° in Jerusalemª and Benjaminª to standª° [to it]. And the inhabitantsª° of Jerusalemª didª° according to the covenantª of God,ª the Godª of their fathers.ª" {2Ch 34:30-32} + "Now¹ therefore let us makeª° a covenantª with our Godª to put awayª° all¹ the wives,ª and such as are bornª° of¹ them, according to the counselª of my lord,ª and of those that trembleª at the commandmentª of our God;ª and let it be doneª° according to the law.ª" {Ezr 10:3} + "And because of all¹ this¹ we¹ makeª° a sureª [covenant], and writeª° [it]; and our princes,ª Levites,ª [and] priests,ª sealª°¹ [unto it]." {Neh 9:38} + "Now those that sealedª°¹ [were], Nehemiah,ª the Tirshatha,ª the sonª of Hachaliah,ª and Zidkijah,ª ...
