The OT record shows God's dealing with his people time and again in the form of a covenant. William Dumbrell demonstrates God's developing relationship with his people and concludes that after the exile, Israel's understanding of her relationship with God demanded nothing short of a new covenant and a new creation to achieve his purpose. https://www.amazon.com/Covenant-Creation-Testament-Covenants-Theological/dp/0853647712/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=9780853647713&qid=1595600574&sr=8-1
