Exegesis
The infinitive construct leemor {לֵאמֹ֑ר | lê-ʾō-mər} marks the transition into direct speech, which unfolds as a triadic series of equative appositions: barukh ammi Mitzrayim {בָּרוּךְ עַמִּי מִצְרַיִם | bā-rûḵ ʿam-mî mi-ṣrā-yim} ‘Egypt is my people’, umaase yadai Ashur {וּמַעֲשֵׂה יָדַי אַשּׁוּר | u-mə-ʿă-sê yā-ḏay ʾǎ-šur} ‘Assyria is the work of my hands’, and venachalati Yisrael {וְנַחֲלָתִי יִשְׂרָאֵל | wə-nă-ḥă-lā-ṯî yi-srā-ʼēl} ‘Israel is my inheritance’. The parallel structure underscores equal divine favor across nations.
