Exegesis
The declaration “I am the LORD your God” combines ani {אֲנִי֙ | ʾănî} with the compound divine name YHWH Eloheikhem {יְהוָ֣ה אֱלֹֽהֵיכֶ֔ם | Yəhôwāh ʾĕlōhêḵem} asserting covenant authority, and the relative clause asher-hotseiti {אֲשֶׁר־הוֹצֵ֥אתִי | ʾăšer-hōṣēʾêtî} ‘who I brought out’ recalls the Exodus foundation. The parallel structure underlines legal duty grounded in divine deliverance.
