Exegesis
The participle qoneh {קֹנֵה | qō-nēh} in apposition to the divine title expands the portrayal by describing God as possessor of the cosmos, with shamayim vaarets {שָׁמַיִם וָאָרֶץ | šā-ma-yim wā-ʾā-reṣ} forming a merism for all creation. Retaining these Hebrew structures highlights the solemn legal tone and Abram’s recognition of divine sovereignty over human authority.
