Exegesis
The declaration ani YHWH eloheikhem {אֲנִי יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵיכֶם | ʾă-nî Yə-hō-wāh ʾĕ-lō-hē-khem} introduces the divine title, linked to the relative clause asher-hibdalti-etkhem {אֲשֶׁר־הִבְדַּ֥לְתִּי אֶתְכֶם | ʾă-šer hib-dal-tî ʾet-khem} ‘who has separated you’, where the Hiphil perfect conveys the definitiveness of Israel’s separation from the nations (min-haammim {מִן־הָֽעַמִּֽים | min-hā-ʿam-mîm}). The translation maintains the Hebrew word-order markers and vav-consecutive narrative flow, balancing literal fidelity with English readability.
In context — Leviticus 20:24
But I said to you, "You will inherit their land, and I will give it to you to possess—a land flowing with milk and honey. I am the LORD your God , who has set you apart from the nations."
