Exegesis
In anochi magen lakh {אָנֹכִי מָגֵן לָךְ | ʾā-nō-kî mā-gēn lāḵ}, the emphatic pronoun anochi ‘I’ foregrounds the speaker’s identity, and magen ‘shield’ serves as a metaphor for comprehensive protection.
In context — Genesis 15:1
After these events, the word of the LORD came to Abram in a vision: “Do not be afraid, Abram; I am a shield for you, and your reward will be very great.”
