Exegesis
The final prepositional chain beini uvein haarets {בֵּינִ֖י וּבֵ֥ין הָאָֽרֶץ | bē-nî û-bēn hā-ʾā-reṣ} ‘between Me and the earth’ expresses the relational scope of this covenant sign, linking the divine “I” with the entire earth that had just undergone judgment. In English, the object-fronting is preserved by starting with “My bow I have set,” while the coordinate clause structure (“and it shall be…”) mirrors the Hebrew parataxis, keeping the flow from past divine action to future covenantal function.
In context — Genesis 9:13
My bow I have set in the cloud, and it shall be for a sign of the covenant between Me and the earth.
