Exegesis
The clause ʾani {אֲנִי | ˀă-nî} YHWH {יְהוָה | Yə-hō-wāh} ‘I am the LORD’ serves as the authoritative divine self-identification that concludes the command. The placement of the prohibition immediately before the consequence underscores a cause–result relationship, and the concluding divine title reinforces covenantal authority over purity regulations.
In context — Leviticus 22:8
He must not eat a carcass or a torn animal, so as not to become unclean by it. I am the LORD .
