Rashi on Genesis 17:2

Core Text of Rashi

Core Text
וְאֶתְּנָה בְרִיתִי — בְּרִית שֶׁל אַהֲבָה, וּבְרִית הָאָרֶץ לְהוֹרִישָׁהּ לְךָ עַל יְדֵי מִצְוָה זוֹ.

English: “I will establish My covenant” — a covenant of love, and a covenant of the land, to give it to you through this commandment.

On the daf / in context: Rashi focuses on the covenant itself rather than treating the doubled “me’od” as an independent coded doctrine.
Type of Learning: Rashi’s explanation of the covenant
What Is Learned: Rashi reads the covenant as encompassing both a covenant of love and the covenant of the land, connected to the commandment of circumcision.

Supplementary classical material not listed by Torah Temimah under this exact passuk.
