his binding-pact
| Root | ברת (b-r-t) |
| Core Meanings | cutting, binding agreement, covenant-making, formal pact |
| Semantic Range | covenant, treaty, alliance, confederation, solemn agreement, binding ordinance between individuals or between God and humans |
| Conceptual Significance | בְּרִית is a central theological term in the Hebrew Bible, denoting the binding and often divinely initiated agreements between יהוה and His people (e.g., with Noah, Abraham, Israel, David). It conveys not merely a contract but a solemn, relational bond established and ratified with enduring obligations and promises. |
| Morphological Notes | Feminine singular noun in construct (בְּרִית) + 3ms pronominal suffix (־וֹ), yielding "his covenant/pact." Though in construct form, the suffix makes the form definite and possessed. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun בְּרִית is a feminine singular noun in construct form with a 3rd masculine singular pronominal suffix, meaning "his." Rendering it as "his binding-pact" preserves the singular form and possessive suffix while reflecting the root sense of a formally cut and binding agreement between parties. |
