The Edenic covenant was prevalent before the fall of man. God created the world and man. God promised man a partner and asked them to dominate over all the animals and live happily in the Eden Garden and in return asked them refrain from eating a fruit from the Tree of Knowledge.

That in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which [is] upon the sea shore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies; (Gn. 22:18)
