The Hebrew word Beriyth/Beriyt translated as “covenant” has several meanings: (1) to eat with, which suggests fellowship and agreement; (2) to bind or fetter, which means commitment; and (3) to allot, which suggests sharing. When Yah makes a covenant, He enters into an agreement to commit Himself to give what He promises.

Beriyth describes a compact made by passing between pieces of flesh. Covenant is a solemn, binding arrangement between two parties and entails a variety of responsibilities, benefits and penalties depending on the specific covenant which is being studied. OT covenants were made between Yah and man and Husband and Wife.

Beriyth is used in the context of marriage…

(Context Pr 2:16 = The adulteress) That leaves the companion of her youth and forgets the covenant (Heb = beriyth; Lxx = diatheke) of her God (Proverbs 2:17).

Yet you say, ‘For what reason?’ Because Yahuah has been a witness between you and the wife of your youth, against whom you have dealt treacherously, though she is your companion and your wife by covenant (Heb = beriyth; Lxx = diatheke). (Mal 2:14)

Then I (Yah speaking figuratively to Israel, personified as a woman, specifically a woman He took as His wife - see other OT ref = Isa 54:5, Je 31:32; Ho 2:19) passed by you and saw you, and behold, you were at the time for love; so I spread My skirt over you and covered your nakedness (Note: Ancient custom that is tantamount to a "marriage proposal" - Ruth 3:9). I also swore (Literally "sevened" ~ like repeating a declaration 7x) to you and entered into a covenant (Heb = beriyth; Lxx = diatheke) with you so that you became Mine," declares Yahuah. (Ezekiel 16:8)

The Great Awakening Beriyt Marriage Ministry believes that no firmer guarantee of legal security, peace or personal loyalty than that found in the covenant of  Marriage. In the ancient Hebraic world the greatest tool for covenant making came to be the written document (ketubah) on which the words of the covenant, its terms in the form of promises and stipulations, were spelled out, witnessed to, signed and sealed.

The meaning of the Hebrew word for covenant is illustrated in Genesis 15, the first use of the Hebrew phrase "cut (Heb = karath) covenant (beriyth)" (often translated in English Bibles by the Hebrew idiom "make [made] a covenant").
