HH: The Abrahamic covenant was of a different nature than the Mosaic covenant, promise versus law. The Book of Hebrews says that the Mosaic covenant is obsolete:

Heb. 8:13 ¶ By calling this covenant "new," he has made the first one obsolete; and what is obsolete and aging will soon disappear.

HH: There is nothing wrong in people living according to it, but it is not a requirement.
