Exegesis
The construct chain beinenu b’shem YHWH {בֵּינֵינוּ בְּשֵׁם יְהוָה | bēnēnû bᵊšēm YHWH} places divine authority at the center, while the repeated prepositional phrase uvein {וּבֵין | ūbēn} introduces a parallel structure pairing “me/you” and “your offspring/my offspring,” emphasizing an enduring intergenerational vow.
