Exegesis
Finally, the clause ani YHWH mekaddesham {אֲנִי יְהוָה מְקַדְּשָׁם | ’ă-nî Yə-hō-wāh mə-qa-dda-šām} asserts divine identity and ongoing sanctification. The formal version preserves Hebrew word order and vav-consecutives for legal precision, while the dynamic version streamlines the sequence for clarity without losing the causal flow between obligation, profanation, and divine sanctification.
In context — Leviticus 22:9
And they shall keep My charge so that they do not bear sin upon it and die in it, because they profane it. I am the LORD who sanctifies them.
