Exegesis
The vav on venakhalat {וְנַחֲלַת | wə-naḥălaṯ} coordinates a second, synonymous line (“inheritance”), reinforcing the distribution motif with legal-family language.
The construct chain venakhalat imro {וְנַחֲלַת אִמְרוֹ | wə-naḥălaṯ ʾimrô} is rendered to reflect that the inheritance is defined by a spoken determination; the pronominal suffix in ʾimrô {אִמְרוֹ | ʾimrô} ‘His utterance’ naturally points to the immediately invoked deity, so English capitalizes His to preserve the theological force of an authoritative divine pronouncement. The shift from Elohim to El retains the Hebrew’s rhetorical intensification: the same God is named with a title emphasizing judicial governance and then with a title emphasizing might.
