covenanted
Bound by agreement
Covenanted means bound by a covenant—a formal, binding agreement or promise.
The word appears most often in legal and religious contexts: covenanted obligations, a covenanted community.
In property law, covenanted restrictions limit what owners can do with their land.
In theology, covenanted refers to those bound by divine promise: the covenanted people of Israel.
