Exegesis
The particle et {אֵת | ’ēt} marks the definite direct object kol-haaretz {כֹּל־הָאָרֶץ | kôl-hā-ʾā-reṣ} ‘all the earth,’ underscoring totality. Hebrew word order places the oath and divine subject before the promise, highlighting divine faithfulness as the basis for universal fulfillment. Translating veyimmale as “will be filled” preserves the passive emphasis, while retaining “as I live” maintains the oath’s solemn intensity.
