The covenant exists to build a relationship between God and the Israelites. It includes conditions such as bestowing blessings in exchange for their obedience and forms of punishments for their disobedience.

The purpose of the covenant was to lead the Israelites to the Promised Land. It helped to develop the Kingdom of Israel and later paved the way for Christianity.

In Exodus 19:3-6 God establishes the covenant with the Israelite's through Moses. God said, “This is what you are to say to the descendants of Jacob and what you are to tell the people of Israel: 4 ‘You yourselves have seen what I did to Egypt, and how I carried you on eagles’ wings and brought you to myself. 5 Now if you obey me fully and keep my covenant, then out of all nations you will be my treasured possession. Although the whole earth is mine, 6 you[a] will be for me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation." God wanted to send this message to the Israelite's through Moses. If the Israelite's listened to God they were promised a kingdom and will be the treasured possession of God, meaning they will be the chosen people of God.
