Exegesis
The vav-consecutive venāttaṯî {וְנָתַתִּי | wenāttaṯî} “and I will give” underscores divine agency, and the perfect wiḏaʿtem kî ʾănî yəhōwāh {וִידַעְתֶּם כִּי־אֲנִי יְהוָה | wiḏaʿtem kî ʾănî yəhōwāh} “and you will know that I am the LORD” conveys assured recognition. The English order preserves Hebrew emphasis on divine action and covenantal revelation.
