Exegesis
The direct object marker ʾet {אֵת | ʾet} signals ham-miṣwāh haz-zôt {הַמִּצְוָה הַזֹּאת | ham-miṣ-wāh haz-zôt} ‘this commandment’, while ʾet-lêwî {אֶת־לֵוִ֔י | ʾet-lê-wî} marks Levi as the covenant partner.
In context — Malachi 2:4
Then you will know that I have sent this commandment to you, so that My covenant may continue with Levi , says the LORD of hosts .
