We are familiar with contracts. Two people promise to exchange material goods or services in an agreed manner. A covenant is very different however. Material is not exchanged, but persons are! Covenants are different from contracts in that they are intended to form a family bond, and a bond that is sacred. Think of it like marriage. Two individuals beforehand become a family afterwards!
