Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
בְּרִיתִ֣י ׀ הָיְתָ֣ה אִתּ֗וֹ הַֽחַיִּים֙ וְהַ֨שָּׁל֔וֹם
covenant,my she/it_was with=him/it the=life and,the,peace
Here the intended results of the covenant are spoken of as if they were the covenant itself. Alternate translation: “The purpose of my covenant with Levi was for the priests to live in prosperity and peace”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
מוֹרָ֖א וַיִּֽירָאֵ֑נִי
reverence and,revered,me
This expression continues the same metaphor, but leaves out an idea that is implied in the text. This can begin a new sentence. Alternate translation: “My covenant with him was also fear, and he feared me” or “In my covenant with him, I required him to fear me, and he did fear me”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
שְׁמִ֖י
name,my
Here my name stands for God himself.
