Strong's Lexicon Berith: Covenant Original Word: בְּרִית Word Origin: Derived from the root בָּרָה (barah), meaning "to cut" or "to bind." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G1242 - διαθήκη (diathēkē), meaning "covenant" or "testament." Usage: The term "berith" is primarily used to denote a formal agreement or covenant between two parties. In the biblical context, it often refers to the solemn and binding agreements made between God and humanity, or between individuals. These covenants are characterized by promises, obligations, and sometimes signs or symbols. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, covenants were common and served as binding agreements that could be political, social, or religious in nature. They were often ratified by a ceremony that included sacrifices or the sharing of a meal. In the Bible, covenants are central to God's relationship with His people, beginning with Noah, continuing with Abraham, Moses, and David, and culminating in the New Covenant through Jesus Christ.
