Exegesis
The following nominal clause is an equation: YHWH {יְהוָה | Yə-hō-wāh} + Elohei {אֱלֹהֵי | ʾĕ-lō-hê} Yisrael {יִשְׂרָאֵל | yiś-rā-ʾēl} stands as the subject, and the independent pronoun hu {הוּא | hūʾ} functions like a copular marker with emphasis (“He indeed”), linking directly to the predicate nachalatam {נַחֲלָתָם | na-ḥă-lā-ṯām} “their inheritance.”
In context — Joshua 13:33
And to the tribe of Levi Moses gave no inheritance; the LORD , the God of Israel , is their inheritance, just as He spoke to them.
