Exegesis
The construct phrase benê-Yiśrā’ēl {בְּנֵֽי־יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל | bə-nê Yi-srā-’ēl} ‘sons of Israel’ denotes the community as source, and bərît ‘ôlām {בְּרִ֥ית עוֹלָֽם | bə-rît ‘ō-lām} ‘everlasting covenant’ frames the act within enduring divine promise. The shift from Hebrew VSO to English SVO preserves the emphatic temporal opening and symmetry of the repeated Sabbath clause.
In context — Leviticus 24:8
On each Sabbath day he shall arrange it before the LORD continually, as a perpetual covenant from the sons of Israel.
