Exegesis
The repetition of ʿe·mēk be·rā·ḥā underscores the toponym, and ʿad·hay·yōm {עַד־הַיּוֹם | ʿad·hay·yōm} “until the day” signals the enduring nature of the designation. The English phrasing mirrors the Hebrew causal flow and naming logic.
In context — 2 Chronicles 20:26
And on the fourth day they assembled at the Valley of Berakhah , for there they blessed the LORD . Therefore that name has endured as the Valley of Berakhah until this day.
