Exegesis
The prepositional phrase legoy {לְגוֹי | lə-gôy} “into a nation” precedes the verb ashimenu {אֲשִׂימֶנּוּ | ʾă-śî-mēn-nû}, foregrounding the intended result before stating the divine action.
In context — Genesis 21:13
And the son of the maidservant I will also make into a nation , because he is your offspring.
