Exegesis
The construct phrase beit-yisraʾel {בֵּית־יִשְׂרָאֵל | bêt-yiś-rā-ʾēl} functions as the subject, which transitions via the covenantal formula ve-hāyū lī le-ʿām {וְהָיוּ לִי לְעָם | wə-hā-yū lī lə-ʿām} ‘and they shall be to me a people’ into the reciprocal promise ʾanī ʾehyeh lāhem le-Elohim {אֲנִי אֶהְיֶה לָהֶם לֵאלֹהִים | ʾă-nī ʾe-hyeh lā-hem lē-ʾĕ-lō-hīm} ‘and I will be their God’.
In context — Ezekiel 14:11
So that the house of Israel may no longer stray from Me, nor defile themselves again with all their transgressions ; and they will be My people, and I will be their God —declares the Lord GOD .
