The notion that God, Yahweh, concluded a "Covenant" or "Contract"
with his people of Israel plays a prominent part in the Old
Testament. Numerous correspondences between the texts of Ancient
Oriental contracts and the Book of Deuteronomy suggest that
political treaties served as model for the theology of the biblical
covenant. Using extant source material, the present study attempts
to trace the complicated path into the Old Testament taken by an
instrument used for the exercise of power in the Ancient Orient.
