At the risk of starting a whole thing that I am ill equipped to discuss intelligently, were only males included in the Abrahamic covenant since only they took the mark? If not then why need a baby receive the mark baptism to be included in the new covenant blessings?

Federal headship/bloody mark represented Adamic sin removal. Baptism is death and burial of individual in Christ. NT shows women being baptized, ergo, change of sign application. - NC is new admin, all of old admin needed new sign.

Baby baptism doesn’t mark the new birth. If it marks covenant membership somehow then it’s just symbolic, right? Surely you don’t think it confers covenant membership in and of itself?

Baptism, like circumcision, is God's commanded initiation rite into his Covenant. It is a sign pointing to His promises, and His earnest seal that he'll provide those promises, but they must be embraced by faith. God's sacraments are both symbolic and substantial. 1/2

Do you refer to the covenant of redemption Luke 22:20?

The covenant of grace, which has been saving believers by grace thru faith since Gen 3 - fully revealed in the New Covenant administration expressed in the supper.

So NOT the same covenant Jesus speaks of in Luke 22?

"fully revealed in the New Covenant administration expressed in the Supper" <-- that's Luke 22. Yet it's the same covenant which saved Abraham.

Hmmm. I guess I don’t know what “points to” means then.

Signs "point to what Christ has done. They illustrate and testify to his gospel promises. They are signs of what he has done for all his people (elect) and what is true of all those who believe." This is true of circumcision and baptism.https://heidelblog.net/2018/07/what-do-we-mean-by-sacrament-sign-and-seal/ …
