The nature of God’s covenant with Israel goes beyond just an “agreement”, but more so a bond, or a promise. Knowing what Israel needed, and knowing that only God can provide that, created that bond which leads to promises. It is in the nature of our father to want what is best for His children and to want to help. With these promises came certain “obligations” as it is said in “Dictionary of the Old Testament: The Pentateuch”. Throughout the Bible we can see the different promises that were made but also the obligations that men and women had as well. I can see how in a sense this was also a way to give thanks to God and show appreciation for all He did and was to do with not just the people back then, but for the future generations, which include us now.
