Exegesis
veet-haaretz {אֶת־הַשָּׁמַיִם וְאֶת־הָאָרֶץ | ʾeṯ-haš-šā-mā-yim wə-ʾeṯ-hā-ʾā-reṣ}, forming a climactic confession: the One addressed as Israel’s God is also the Maker of the entire cosmos. The English renderings keep the movement from approach, to divine titles, to exclusivity, to creation, preserving the verse’s confessional build.
