God established several covenants to relate to humanity and help us understand history. The main covenants discussed are: 1. The Edenic Covenant, which blessed Adam and Eve to be fruitful and have dominion over creation with the condition of not eating from the tree of knowledge. Their disobedience resulted in sin, shame, pain, labor, corruption and death entering the world. 2. The Adamic Covenant was then established by God as the second covenant after Adam and Eve's sin. 3. Eight covenants in total are mentioned, including the Edenic, Adamic, Noahic, Abrahamic, Mosaic, Palestinian, Davidic and New Covenant.
