Well, I just looked up that scripture at Biblehub and it uses the word loyalty in the original Hebrew. It said, "And humbly covenant loyalty and to love justly."
Take a look yourself.

That's an interlinear, a word for word translation. It doesn't consider multiple-word phrases or context. That's why no bible translation has used "loyalty" in that scripture. If wt is going base their decision to use "loyalty" on this interlinear, that is the epitome of cherrypicking.
In the German revised NWT they use "loyale Liebe zu üben."
That even has a completely different meaning than the English revised NWT. In German it means to exercise loyal love. The english version "to cherish loyalty" not even has love in it.
Before it was in German "Güte zu lieben", which means to "love kindness", which also has a different meaning.
Bible Hubs translation is incorrect.
Those letters are "chsd" not "ese". The word is kindness, not loyalty.
I only took one semester of Ulpan at the Hebrew University and know that's not even close to the correct letters, let alone correct word.
They could simply ask a Hassid rabbi, they're all over NYC. They'd be happy to share the scroll and discuss the meaning and put some knowledge out there.
They ruined my favorite scripture in this "new and unimproved" version.
I have started to look at other references to "loyal, loyalty" and their treatment in the silver ghost bible. The results are disturbing. The terms mercy and kindness seem to have disappeared in favour of loyalty. Just to be clear, if this seems like a sweeping statement I would have to put my hands up. I have of course not examined every instance, life is too short but I think there is a clear pattern emerging.
IMO they are not just an innocent example of incompetence, they represent an attempt to further browbeat the faithful into blind obedience. This in view of a whole assembly being based on this misleading concept is a dark, chilling development. It doesn't seem innocent or well-meaning.
