The Abrahamic Covenant Bible story is from the book of Genesis and begins with chapter 12 as

God calls upon Abraham to go to the land of Canaan where he promises to "make of him a
great nation," a blessing unto to mankind through his descendants all families of the world shall
be blessed.
[ The Abrahamic Covenant is really the beginnings of the formal revelation of the covenant of
grace, of God's decision to reach into humanity and specifically save people for Himself. It
comes in the form of a promise to Abraham. Abraham, who's the son of an idolater, who did
not know God. God takes the initiative with him, calls him into a relationship with Himself, and
makes just unilaterally some promises to Abraham. He promises that Abraham is going to be a
great nation, that he is going to be given a land, a place to live, and that through Him, all of the
nations will be blessed. ~ Christianity.com ]

The Covenant with Moses. Over a thousand years after Abraham’s death, the Jews were
enslaved in Egypt. Jews believe that God chose the prophet Moses to lead them out of slavery
and to the Promise Land.
[ Moses leads the enslaved Hebrews to freedom. Moses was born to an enslaved Hebrew
mother in Egypt but was brought up in the Pharaoh’s household. He was expelled from Egypt
after murdering an Egyptian who was being cruel to an enslaved Hebrew, but returned when
commanded by God to lead the enslaved Hebrew people to freedom in the Promised
Land. ~ www.bbc.co.uk ]
