Exegesis
The construct chain beriti shalom {בְּרִיתִ֖י שָׁלוֹם | bə-rîṯî šā-lōm} tightly binds “my covenant” to “peace,” specifying the covenant’s nature. This sequence creates a legal-proclamatory structure that emphasizes both the divine initiative and the relational bond established through the covenant.

ש־ל־ם
