Exegesis
A series of coordinated prepositional phrases—beini {בֵּינִ֣י | bê-nî} and uvenekha {וּבֵינֶ֗ךָ | ū-bê-ne-kā}, followed by uvein zarʿakha achareikha {וּבֵ֨ין זַרְעֲךָ אַחֲרֶיךָ | ū-bêin zar-ʿă-kā ʾa-ḥa-rê-kā}—situates the covenant between God, Abraham, and his seed, with achareikha ‘after you’ extending the promise beyond Abraham’s lifetime.
In context — Genesis 17:7
I will confirm My covenant between Me and you and between your seed after you in every generation, as an everlasting covenant, so that I will be God to you and to your seed after you.
