Exegesis

The verse begins with the noun berit {בְּרִית | bə-rît} ‘covenant,’ followed by a fourfold prepositional parallelism with bein {בֵּין | bēyn} in beini {בֵּינִי | bē-yīnî} ‘between me,’ conjunction + preposition uveineka {וּבֵינֶךָ | ū-bē-nê-kha} ‘and between you,’ preposition bein avi {בֵּין אָבִי | bēyn ʾā-ḇî} ‘between my father,’ and conjunction + preposition uvein aveikha {וּבֵין אָבִיךָ | ū-bēyn ʾă-ḇê-kha} ‘and between your father,’ intensifying the mutual obligation.
