This phrase expresses a single idea by using two expressions connected with and. The word sworn tells in what way Yahweh spoke. Alternate translation: [as Yahweh had said solemnly that he would do]

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
