From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A
covenant
is a formal agreement, a promise made between two people.
[1]
It is often used as a
religious
promise. It can also be an item which is a
symbol
of keeping the promise. Some covenants include stone tablets, written documents, and other sacred items. In
Judaism
, the
Ark of the Covenant
was a wooden box which held the stone tablets with the
Ten Commandments
written on them. The Jewish people saw the box as a symbol of God being with them and leading them.
