Exegesis
The sequence resumes with vaavdil {וָאַבְדִּ֥ל | wāḇaḏḏîl} ‘and I set apart’, a vav-consecutive Hiphil perfect indicating divine action, with etchem {אֶתְכֶ֛ם | ʾetḵêm} marking the direct object ‘you’ and the prepositional phrase min-haʿammîm {מִן־הָעַמִּים | min-hāʿammîm} ‘from the nations’ specifying the scope of separation.
In context — Leviticus 20:26
And you shall be holy to Me, for I, the LORD , am holy; and I have set you apart from the nations, to be Mine.
