The word “covenant” in this chapter refers to a treaty or agreement He had made with Israel. God’s claim was that He had done this, and that, and the other—all for Israel. He was making an amazing offer to the stiffnecked (stubborn) nation for their own good and for the furtherance of His commitment to offer redemption to the entire human race. On the other side of this covenant, God reminded them of the terrible consequences they would suffer if they aroused His fierce anger by continuing in their stubbornness.
