Patrijarh Abraham je na početku bio prikazan kao nomad, lutaoc, kojega Bog odabire za svoje planove. Abraham materijalno ništa nije posjedovao, a do kraja svoga života postaje jedan bogati čovjek. Sve ono za čime je čeznuo, za njega postaje stvarnost. Dobiva puno više nego je i sam očekivao, a sve zbog svoje čvrste i nepokolebljive vjere. Sklapa savez s Bogom i mijenja svoj život u cijelosti. Rad se temelji na literaturi koja nam nastoji približiti ozračje u kojemu se nalazio Abraham i njegova obitelj. U prvom dijelu navodimo općenite podatke o pojmu saveza (heb. berit) i povezanost sa hetitskim ugovorima. Drugi dio govori o Abrahamovu životu prije i nakon Božjega poziva, njegov odgovor Bogu koji je vjera. U trećem dijelu ističe se pojam saveza kao partnerskog, prijateljskog odnosa između Boga i čovjeka, savez koji je sklopljen po neobičnom obredu. Važno je spomenuti i dvije tradicije kojima se ovaj treći dio pripisuje, a to su jahvistička i elohistička. Zadnje poglavlje usmjereno je na Božja obećanja, pojam obrezanja i promjenu imena Abram u Abraham.Abraham je jedna od rijetkih osoba koji je povjerovao Bogu iako ga nije poznavao. Ostavio je svoje pleme i pošao sa svojom suprugom Sarom na put koji je Bog za njega pripravio. Taj put je bio put u nepoznato, ali prepun sigurnosti jer je uz Saru imao još jednog suputnika, Boga. S Bogom sklapa savez i postaje prijatelj zauvijek.

At the beginning, Abraham was displayed as a nomad, a wanderer, who was chosen by God for His plans. Abraham didn't have any material property, but by the end of his life he was a rich man. All that he longed for became a reality. He was given more than he expected, based on his strong and unshakable faith. He made a covenant with God and altered his life completely. This paper is based on the literature that endeavors to approximate the climate surrounding Abraham and his family. The first part gives general information of the term covenant (heb. berit) and it's correlation with Hittite treaties. The second part focuses on Abraham's life before and after he was called by God and his faith as an answer. In the third part, the term covenant is depicted as a partnership, a friendly relation between God and man, a covenant forged by an unusual rite. It's important to mention the two traditions connected with this third part the Yahwist and the Elohist sources. The last chapter focuses on God's promises, the term circumcision and the modifications from the name Abram into Abraham.Abraham is one of the few persons that put faith in God even though he didn't know Him. He left his clan and departed with his wife Sarah on a path laid out by God. That path led him into the unknown, but Abraham was filled with certainty because beside Sarah, he had another companion by his side God. He made a covenant with God and became His everlasting friend.
