Steve's response: The above is incorrect. The Abrahamic covenant is an everlasting covenant. Originally made with Abraham, then passed to Isaac and his children, then to Jacob (Israel), and his 12 children, thus creating the 12 tribes. Each one of these tribes is part of the everlasting covenant. Moses was a member of the Levite tribe only. There were still 11 tribes left, that were and are a part of this never ending covenant.
Muz, where do your conclusions come from? Moses was part of another covenant with God, the Mosaic Covenant. That Covenant is not an everlasting covenant, and it did not do away with the Abrahamic covenant.
God bless,
Steve Goltra
P.S. A good book to start with is THE BLOOD COVENANT by H. Clay Trumbull. This book, written by Dr. Trumbull in 1885. It is a 390 page book that documents all of the blood covenant rituals around the globe. Also, what I posted on the Blood Covenant would be helpful as well.
