He said to him: Whenever Israel sins, let them perform before Me this order and I will forgive them… Rav Yehudah said: A covenant is established with the Thirteen Attributes that they do not return empty)"—Rosh Hashanah 17b; and likewise: "The sages said: A covenant is established—that anyone who toils in his study in the synagogue does not quickly forget, and one who toils in private becomes wise"—Maimonides, Book of Knowledge, Laws of Torah Study, ch. 3:12; and likewise: "A covenant is bound by a grave oath between a man of the organization and his fellow to maintain exact unity and partnership"—Y. Burla, Longings; and likewise: "A covenant is established for a woman—that she cries until she stops"—Sholem Aleichem, Advice; and likewise: "A covenant is established for every city that stamps its seal upon its inhabitants—how much more so the city of God"—Agnon, Only Yesterday; and likewise: "From infancy to withering… a covenant is bound to him with Hebrew"—Yaron London, Eliezer Ben-Yehuda)
