Exegesis
The final clause am lo-yadati yaavduni {עַם לֹא־יָדַעְתִּי יַעַבְדֻנִי | ʿam lō–yāʿəṯtî yaʿăḇdûnî} ‘a people I did not know serve me’ contrasts perfect and imperfect aspects to highlight a shift from ignorance to submission. The English structure preserves these Hebrew aspectual and relational nuances by segmenting deliverance, elevation, and servitude across distinct clauses.
