Exegesis
The partitive mi-kol ha-ammim {מִכָּל־הָעַמִּים | mikkōl hā-ʿammîm} ‘from among all nations’ sets Israel apart, and the causal clause ki-li kol ha-arets {כִּי־לִי כָּל־הָאָֽרֶץ | kî lî kōl hā-āreṣ} ‘for the whole earth belongs to Me’ asserts universal sovereignty as the basis for particular election.
In context — Exodus 19:5
Therefore, if you truly heed My voice and uphold My covenant, you will become a treasured possession for Me from among all nations, for the whole earth belongs to Me.
