He brings order to the world and some theologians believe that this is “an all embracing covenant established between God and his creations” (140). If this is indeed the case, then the flood account could be acknowledged as a continuing developing of themes that propels and drives the book. Further, the book of Genesis records the history of the development of the covenant and is “intended to reveal the character of God” (323). Next, the covenant with Abraham in Genesis 12 describes a renewal of the original creation intention in a local setting after muddling human speech and dispersing people throughout the world. This covenant had a more narrow focus than the Noahic covenant, and God promises that the Redeemer will progress by means of Abraham’s descendents and the nation of Israel. Additionally, just like the flood covenant, this covenant is introduced by a sacrifice
