(1) A Human Agreement.

People make covenants or contracts, human agreements, between themselves, and ask others, sometimes God, to witness that agreement. A covenant requires a contribution of service, payment or other consideration from each party, which both regard as fair. To ratify that contract, they sometimes shake hands, or sign documents or provide some form of evidence that an agreement has been entered into.

We have examples of Abraham and Abimelech making a contract (in Genesis 21:27), David and Jonathan (in 1 Samuel 18:3), and Judas Iscariot making such an agreement with the priests who wanted Christ killed (in Luke 22:1-5). In Malachi 2:14 the prophet Malachi refers to marriage as a covenant.
