You must place them ¹  in the tent of meeting before the ark of the covenant ²  where I meet with you.

“Therefore, keep the terms ¹  of this covenant and obey them so that you may be successful in everything you do.

so that you may enter by oath into the covenant the Lord your God is making with you today. ¹ 

The Israelites asked the Lord (for the ark of God’s covenant was there in those days;

Jonathan made a covenant with David, for he loved him as much as he did his own life. ¹ 

and called David’s enemies to account.” So Jonathan made a covenant ¹  with the house of David. ² 

and the priests Benaiah and Jahaziel were to blow trumpets regularly before the ark of God’s covenant.

and set up in it a place for the ark containing the covenant the Lord made with the Israelites.”

Please remember them, O my God, because they have defiled the priesthood, the covenant of the priesthood, ¹  and the Levites.

All this has happened to us, even though we have not rejected you ¹  or violated your covenant with us. ² 

God says this to the evildoer: ¹  “How can you declare my commands, and talk about my covenant? ² 

Remember your covenant promises, ¹  for the dark regions of the earth are full of places where violence rules. ² 

He delivered his people; ¹  he ordained that his covenant be observed forever. ²  His name is holy and awesome.

Do not those who devise ¹  evil go astray? But those who plan good exhibit ²  faithful covenant love. ³ 

I will establish my covenant with you, and then you will know that I am the Lord.

Armies ¹  will be suddenly ²  swept away in defeat ³  before him; both they and a covenant leader ⁴  will be destroyed. ⁵ 

The king stood by the pillar and renewed ¹  the covenant before the Lord, agreeing to follow ²  the Lord and to obey his commandments, laws, and rules with all his heart and being, ³  by carrying out the terms ⁴  of this covenant recorded on this scroll. All the people agreed to keep the covenant. ⁵ 

but I will confirm ¹  my covenant with you. You will enter ²  the ark – you, your sons, your wife, and your sons’ wives with you.

I will place ¹  my rainbow ²  in the clouds, and it will become ³  a guarantee of the covenant between me and the earth.

So God said to Noah, “This is the guarantee of the covenant that I am confirming between me and all living things ¹  that are on the earth.”
