| Morphological Notes | Preposition ב with definite article + feminine singular absolute noun. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun בְּרִית denotes a formal, binding agreement rooted in the concept of a ritually 'cut' pact. The prefixed בַ־ marks the preposition "in" with the definite article, and the feminine singular absolute noun is rendered accordingly as "the binding covenant." |
