(1) a preamble, in which the sovereign identified himself and sometimes summarized the covenant itself;
(2) a historical prologue, which gave the historical basis of the covenant, often centred in a great act of deliverance or provision on behalf of the vassal;
(3) the covenant stipulations, which mapped out the requirements that constitute loyalty to the relationship, by which the covenant is maintained;
(4) the covenant blessings or curses contingent on keeping or breaking the covenant; and
(5) the (often divine) witnesses to the covenant[10]

15:1「… …我是你的盾牌,必大大地賞賜你。」 15:7「耶和華對他説:『我是耶和華, …』」立約人講出的歷史背景

15:4-5「你本身所生的才成為你的後嗣」 ,而且如天上的星那麼多。
(三)受約人要守的誡命 (條件或承諾)
15:9-10要把母牛、母山羊、公綿羊、斑鳩、雛鴿獻祭...
-15:6 亞伯蘭「信」耶和華,耶和華就以此算為他的義了
-他的「信」是與神的關係,從始至終的順服,包括12章聽從神呼召離開吾珥,22章獻上以撒
- 15:9-11 神吩咐亞伯拉罕把獻祭的動物避開兩半,代表背約的「禍」
- 15:14-15 「以後他們必帶著許多財物從那裏出來。 至於你,你要平平安安歸到你祖先那裏,必享長壽,被人埋葬。」,代表亞伯拉罕受約,帶來他和後代的「福」
