    Ge.17:7

    "And I will establish my covenant between me and thee and thy seed after thee in their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God unto thee, and to thy seed after thee."

    The same covenant God renewed with Noah we have in the key text. "And I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh;" (9:15)

    Before we go into the topic proper we have a verse to keep in mind. "Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham; for a father of many nations have I made thee."(v.5

    With Abraham it is stated in three parts. 1) The covenant is between God and Man 2): "And thee" as the man in the Man component. 3) And thy seed "after thee" The phrase is in keeping with 'after his likeness". So Jesus Christ in the generation of Jesus Christ is the son of Abraham. (Matt.1:1) This is further validated by change in the name of Abram to Abraham so the name of Jesus Christ as the Son over his house has pre-eminence.

    Christ Jesus "And was made in the likeness of men:/And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross./Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:/That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;/And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father."(Ph.2:2:7-11)

    The covenant is an everlasting covenant which serves as the matrix of divine Will concerning the body. The firstborn is mine"

    "Every thing that openeth the matrix in all flesh, which they bring unto the LORD, whether it be of men or beasts, shall be thine: nevertheless the firstborn of man shalt thou surely redeem, and the firstling of unclean beasts shalt thou redeem." (Nu.18:15)

    We have this applied to the Law of Moses. Similarly for the Gentiles. Firstborn of every creature. ( Col 1:14-17)
