Exegesis
The emphatic pronoun ani {אֲנִ֖י | ʾănî} precedes YHWH {יְהוָֽה | Yəhōwāh} for rhetorical self‐declaration. In English the clause order is adjusted to foreground the covenant formula while preserving Hebrew causative and purpose structures.
Root and etymology
h-y-hheh–yod–heh

In context — Leviticus 22:33
