Team definition
A disposition of property by will, a testament (Gal 3:15; Heb 9:16–17), and in the LXX and NT mostly a covenant, an arrangement made by one party that the other accepts (Abbott-Smith; Dodson). In Rom 9:4 the covenants are among Israel's privileges (the plural is in a variant unit); compare Rom 11:27. See var.Rom.9.4.diathekai.
