Exegesis
The noun berit {בְּרִית | bərît} identifies the covenant, and the paired prepositional phrases beyni uveineikhem {בֵּינִי וּבֵינֵיכֶם | bēnî ûvēnêḵem} emphasize the bilateral relationship. The translations preserve Hebrew coordination and causative-result structure with “distinguishing mark” and “act will stand as a sign” reflecting the original emphasis.
In context — Genesis 17:11
You shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin, and it shall serve as a distinguishing mark of the covenant between Me and you.
