Exegesis
The fronted object et-haggoy {אֶת־הַגּ֛וֹי | ʾet-haggôy} ‘the nation’ is marked with ʾet and then specified by the restrictive relative clause asher {אֲשֶׁ֥ר | ʾăšer} + yaavodu {יַעֲבֹ֖דוּ | yaʿăḇōdû} ‘that they will serve’, identifying the nation by Israel’s future servitude.
In context — Genesis 15:14
And also the nation that they will serve, I will judge, and after that they will go out with great property .
