Exegesis
The expression ani YHWH {אֲנִי יְהוָה | ʾă-nî Yə-hō-wāh} asserts divine identity.
The concluding formula nəʼum Adonai YHWH {נְאֻם אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה | nə-’ūm ʾă-dō-nāy Yə-hō-wāh} delivers divine authority. The English order places “you will know” and “I am the LORD” at the forefront, mirroring the Hebrew emphasis.
