Exegesis
The following vav-consecutive verb vayikrot {וַיִּכְרֹת | wayyikroṯ} ‘and he made/cut’ routinely introduces covenant-making, here with berit {בְּרִ֑ית | berît} ‘covenant’ as its object.
In context — Ezekiel 17:13
And he took from the royal seed and made a covenant with him; he brought him under an oath and also took the mighty ones of the land.
