The term "convention" does not appear explicitly in the Bible, but its themes can be associated with gatherings, agreements, or established practices among people, particularly in a religious context. In biblical terms, conventions can refer to the assemblies or gatherings of believers for worship, instruction, or communal decision-making. For instance, the assembly of the Israelites in the Old Testament can be seen as a form of convention, where the people would come together to receive God’s laws or to celebrate significant events (Exodus 12:16; Leviticus 23:3).Moreover, the concept of "covenant" in the Bible can be likened to a form of convention, as it represents a solemn agreement between God and His people, defining the terms of their relationship. Key examples include the covenant made with Noah (Genesis 9:9-17), Abraham (Genesis 15:18), and the New Covenant established through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ (Luke 22:20). These covenants set the framework within which the community of believers operates, much like a convention would establish rules or guidelines for a gathering. Thus, while not explicitly termed "convention," the principles of collective worship, agreement, and community governance are deeply woven into the fabric of biblical narratives.
