Exegesis
The verse opens with the demonstrative zot {זֹאת | zōṯ} ‘this’ marking an equative statement in which beriti {בְּרִיתִי | bə-rî-tî} ‘my covenant’ functions as the predicate nominative.
In context — Genesis 17:10
This is My covenant that you are to keep between Me and you and your descendants after you: every male among you must be circumcised.
