Abstract

This study explores the concept of covenant in the Pentateuch through a qualitative-descriptive approach that integrates historical and theological analysis of God’s covenants with Noah, Abraham, and Israel at Sinai. Historical findings indicate that the covenantal structures in the Pentateuch correspond to treaty forms common in the Ancient Near East, particularly suzerainty treaties, yet the biblical covenants reveal a fundamental distinction by emphasizing God’s gracious initiative independent of political negotiations or human strategic interests. The theological examination affirms that the covenant is not merely a legalistic contract but a manifestation of God’s relational commitment that shapes the identity of His people as a covenant community grounded in divine faithfulness and promise. The Torah is understood as an expression of faith response arising from this covenantal relationship, rather than a prerequisite for salvation, thereby retaining its significance for the contemporary church as an ethical and spiritual framework guiding Christian praxis, character formation, and communal responsibility amid rapidly evolving social contexts. The integration of historical and theological perspectives demonstrates that the Pentateuchal covenant encompasses intertwined dynamics of grace, obligation, and identity formation, contributing theoretically to Old Testament studies, particularly covenant theology, while offering practical implications for ecclesial faith formation, the strengthening of communal spirituality, and ministry orientation rooted in a holistic understanding of the divine–human relationship. This research underscores the urgency of interpreting the Pentateuchal covenant through an interdisciplinary lens to meet the theological, ethical, and pastoral challenges faced by the church in the contemporary era.

Abstract

The Hahi dance ritual of the Hulaliu indigenous community in Haruku Island, Central Maluku, is a collective rite rich in bodily, spatial, and spiritual symbolism. This study aims to analyze the structure of the Hahi ritual through Victor Turner’s theory of liminality and to explore how ritual symbolism shapes and reinforces social identity and soa-based structures. Using a qualitative approach with content analysis, data were collected through literature review and in-depth interviews with traditional figures. The findings reveal that the Hahi ritual consists of three stages—pre-liminal, liminal, and post-liminal—conducted collectively by the entire community. The liminal stage creates a sense of communitas by temporarily dissolving social hierarchies, thus reinforcing solidarity and ancestral values. Symbols such as body movement, tifa rhythm, ceremonial colors, and sacred spaces like Baileo function as complex mediums of spiritual and social communication. This study concludes that Hahi represents a cyclical and communal liminal experience, serving not only as cultural preservation but also as a form of resistance against modern pressures. It is best understood as a rite of intensification that regenerates social order and sustains collective memory within the indigenous context.
