Exegesis
The verse opens with vagam {וָגַם | wə-ḡam} ‘and also’, a conjunction adding to the preceding divine actions.
The emphatic pronoun ani {אֲנִי | ʾă-nî} ‘I’ identifies the LORD as subject, followed by the Qal perfect nasati {נָשָׂאתִי | nā-śāʾtî} ‘I lifted’, an idiom for swearing.
In context — Ezekiel 20:15
And also I lifted My hand to them in the wilderness so that I would not bring them into the land that I gave, a land flowing with milk and honey, which is the glory of all lands.
