Which chapter introduces the covenant with Abraham?

• A. Genesis 7
• B. Genesis 12
• C. Genesis 21
• D. Genesis 22

Answer: (B)

The main idea here is identifying where the promise that starts the relationship with Abraham is first given. In that moment, God calls Abram and lays out the initial promises—making him into a great nation, giving him the land, and blessing all nations through him. This introduces the Abrahamic Covenant and sets the terms that keep unfolding in the story. The other chapters point to different parts of the narrative: one is about the flood in Noah’s time, not about Abram; another follows the birth of Isaac, showing the fulfillment of the promised line; and a later chapter features the command to sacrifice Isaac, which tests faith rather than introducing the covenant. So the chapter that begins the covenant with Abram is the one where God first speaks to him and promises, establishing the relationship that carries through the rest of the story.
