在上主之後，這段經文的主角似乎是盟約。它將與亞巴郎同在，如同朋友，如同他生命意義的源泉，如同守護天使。

盟約是上主在亞巴郎及其所有後裔生命中的臨在。

同時，上主的臨在也要求亞巴郎以臨在作為回應。

這種內在的態度同時也是一種外在的行為。

令人驚訝的是，透過遵守盟約，亞巴郎及其後裔似乎超越了時間：時間對他們而言已不再存在，永恆的唯有他們的遵守。他們成為了與上主結合的行動本身。

After God, the main character of this reading seems to be the covenant. It will stay with Abraham, like a friend, like a source of meaning for his life, like a guardian angel.

The covenant is the presence of God in the life of Abraham and of all his offspring.

At the same time, such presence on the side of God calls for a reciprocal presence on the side of Abraham.

The inner attitude of being present is at the same time a visible behavior.

Worth of marvel is the fact that by observing the covenant Abraham and his descendants seem to be timeless: time for them does not exist anymore, what remains forever is their observance. They become the act of their union with God.
