Covenants as layered access

The Bible records successive covenants, each at nearer range than the one before — the same God made more addressable across history:

Each covenant does not replace the prior; it makes the same one God more addressable. The New does not abolish the Mosaic — "“Don’t think that I came to destroy the law or the prophets. I didn’t come to destroy, but to fulfill." (Matthew 5:17).

See: Genesis 9; 12; 15; 17; Exodus 19–24; 2 Samuel 7; Jeremiah 31; Hebrews 8.
