Exegesis
The sequence beriti ittakh {בְּרִיתִי אִתָּךְ | bə-rî-tî ʾit-tāḵ} forms a verbless nominal clause in which beriti ‘my covenant’ serves as the subject and the prepositional complement ittakh ‘with you’ marks the beneficiary, necessitating the English copula “is.”
In context — Genesis 17:4
As for Me , look: My covenant is with you, and you will become the father of a multitude of nations.
