In the Sinai Covenant, God made a covenant with the Israelites through Moses on Mount Sinai. The covenant included the giving of the Ten Commandments and other laws which the Israelites were to follow. It established rules for the Israelites to live by, and outlined the consequences for obedience and disobedience.
The Exodus from Egypt, and the first celebration of Passover the same night (Exodus ch.12) was about two months before the covenant at Sinai (Exodus ch.19 and 24). The connection is that the Exodus, as great as it was, served as just a backdrop and preparation for an even greater event, which was when God gave the Torah at Mount Sinai (the Sinai covenant).
The second covenant was not made between God and Abraham. It was made between God & Moses at Mount Sinai. This is where the ten commandments originated.
Covenants are contracts between God and mankind. They are consistent and ever-enlarging beginning from the Noahic Covenant, the Abrahamic Covenant, the Mosaic Covenant (aka Sinai Covenant), the Davidic Coventant, and the capstone or culminating New Covenant. Though men break covenants, God keeps His promises.

The second covenant in the Bible is the covenant between God and Noah, commonly known as the Noahic Covenant. This covenant was established after the Great Flood and was a promise from God to never again destroy the world with a flood. It also included the sign of the rainbow as a symbol of this covenant.
Judaism is defined by a covenant between the Jewish people and God. Jewish tradition holds that this covenant was made at Mount Sinai, and that the Torah is the document that defines the terms of the covenant. The tradition identifies 613 mitzvot, commandments, in the Torah, and that Jews are obligated by these commandments as their part of the covenant.
Not 100% sure here, but if you meant covenant like I think you do, you are probably talking about when Moses received the commandments from God.
because it was when the entire nation of the Israelites met God for the first time.
The Israelites believed that the covenant made with God at Mount Sinai, which established them as God's chosen people and laid out the guidelines for their relationship with Him, was reaffirmed by the giving of the Ten Commandments. The Ten Commandments were seen as a key part of this covenant, outlining the moral and ethical principles that the Israelites were expected to uphold.
