Exegesis
Within the quotation, the independent pronoun ani {אֲנִי | ʾă-nî} ‘I’ followed immediately by the divine name YHWH {יְהוָה | Yə-hō-wāh} forms a solemn self-identification, foregrounding the Speaker’s authority.
In context — Genesis 15:7
And He said to him, “I am the LORD who brought you out from Ur of the Chaldeans to give you this land to possess it.”
