Exegesis
The clause wəʾattāh Yə-hō-wāh hā-yî-tā {וְאַתָּה יְהוָה הָיִיתָ | wə-ʾattāh Yə-hō-wāh hā-yî-tā} ‘and You, LORD, have been’ shifts focus to divine self-identification, and the infinitive lēʾĕlōhîm {לֵאלֹהִים | lē-ʾĕ-lō-hîm} ‘as God’ completes the relational transformation. The parallel structure links divine gifting with divine identity, underscoring the covenant bond.
