Exegesis
The idiom mid-dōr dōr {מִדֹּר דֹּֽר | mid-dōr dōr} “from generation to generation” functions adverbially to denote perpetuity. In English, nominal clauses are rendered with “is” and “will have” to clarify the proclamation mood and temporal scope.
In context — Exodus 17:16
And he said, “A hand is upon the throne of Yah ; the LORD will have war with Amalek from generation to generation.”
