Exegesis

The conjunction ki {כִּ֣י | kî} plus the suffix in bam {בָּ֗ם | bām} forms an explanatory clause (‘for in them’), leading to the perfect bachar {בָּחַ֞ר | bāḥar}, where YHWH eloheikha {יְהוָ֤ה אֱלֹהֶ֙יךָ֙ | Yəhōwāh ʾĕlōhêykā} is the actor.

The infinitives lesharto and ulevarekh outline the dual priestly duties of ministry and blessing, anchored by beshem YHWH {בְּשֵׁ֣ם יְהוָ֑ה | bə-šêm Yəhōwāh} authorizing action in the divine name.
