Breaking down "nature of this covenant"...
<em>Nature</em> refers to the characteristics of the covenant
A<em> covenant </em>is an agreement, sort of like an informal contract
While you didn't provide us with Chapter 19, versus 5 and 6, reading the rest of the question it can be inferred God is telling the Israelites to "keep his covenant."
To answer the question "What is the nature of this covenant?" read the chapter and ask yourself the following questions:
Is God stern with the Israelites? Helpful? Angry? Happy? Does He feel bad for them? Does He take pity on them? Are they loyal to God?
Does God get more out of the covenant than the Israelites do? Who does the covenant benefit more?
How do the Israelites feel about the covenant? How do they feel about their current situation in general? Does the convenant calm them? Inspire them?

Answer:
- For the most part, early hunter-gatherers were nomadic
- Early humans lived in caves, rock shelters in cliffs, and in tents
- An achievement of early humans was the mastery of fire
Explanation:
The early humans had much different life than the humans of the Neolithic and even more than the modern day humans. These humans had only several achievements, mostly the mastery of fire, creation of simple shelters, and creation of tools and weapons from stone. Their prime concerns were getting food and safety. The food was obtained through hunting of animals and gathering of certain plants. This meant that they had to have nomadic lifestyle in order to have enough food to survive, and their migrations were dictated by the migrations of the animals and the seasons. This was putting the early humans at big risk constantly, as there were lot of predators that were able to take them down with ease, such as big cats, canids, ancient bears, hyenas, and even the animals that they were hunting were extremely dangerous, especially the mastodon and mammoth. In order to be safer and more effective in getting food, they lived in groups, and were spending the nights in caves, rock shelters in cliffs, and in retractable tents, usually located at good locations for defending.
