Ancient Israel, freed from Egyptian oppression, meets with Yahweh, their redeemer. Yahweh instructs Moses in how to lead a sacrificial ritual that will bind the people into a covenant relationship with them, conditional upon both parties keeping their promises to each other.

The ritual itself, however, gives us additional insight into Yahweh's Missional objective that would unfold centuries later in a covenant that would replace the Old Covenant with a New one, the New Testament.
