Let’s examine the word covenant in Hebrew, which looks like this:

ברית

This is pronounced berit in English.

Looking at the characters from right to left, we begin with Bet, ב , which symbolically means House of God or blessing in Hebrew.

Next, the Resh, ר , which means a humble, or poor in spirit, man.

Then comes the Yud, י , which means the Hand of God.

Finally the Tav, ת , which means the Holy of Holies, temple or Celestial Kingdom.

So putting all of the symbols together the word COVENANT in Hebrew symbolically means humbling ourselves to go to the House of the Lord where we make and keep covenants with the Lord. He will take us by His hand and lead us back into His presence or the Celestial Kingdom.

That is why making and keeping our covenants is so critical.
