Context
The Covenant with David
24“Have you not noticed what these people are saying: ‘The LORD has rejected the two families He had chosen’? So they despise My people and no longer regard them as a nation. 25This is what the LORD says: If I have not established My covenant with the day and the night and the fixed order of heaven and earth, 26then I would also reject the descendants of Jacob and of My servant David, so as not to take from his descendants rulers over the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. For I will restore them from captivity and will have compassion on them.”…

“This is what the LORD says”
This phrase introduces a divine declaration, emphasizing the authority and sovereignty of God. In Hebrew, "LORD" is "Yahweh," the covenant name of God, underscoring His eternal and unchanging nature. This introduction sets the stage for a message that is not merely human opinion but a divine pronouncement, reminding us of God's ultimate authority and reliability.

“If I have not established”
The word "established" in Hebrew is "qum," which means to set up, confirm, or make firm. This reflects God's role as the Creator who has set the universe in order. It speaks to His power and intentionality in creation, assuring us that everything is under His control and purposefully arranged.

“My covenant with the day and night”
The term "covenant" is "berit" in Hebrew, signifying a binding agreement. Here, it refers to the natural order God has instituted, reminiscent of Genesis 1 where God separates day from night. This covenant is a testament to God's faithfulness and the regularity of His creation, symbolizing His unwavering promises to His people.

“and the fixed laws of heaven and earth,”
"Fixed laws" translates from the Hebrew "chuqqah," meaning statutes or decrees. This phrase highlights the orderliness and predictability of the universe, which God has ordained. It reflects the idea that just as these laws are unchangeable, so too are God's promises. The "heaven and earth" encompass all creation, pointing to the vastness of God's dominion and the reliability of His word.
