Exegesis
In the result clause, vahyitem qedoshim {וִהְיִיתֶם קְדֹשִׁים | wî-hyî-tem qe-dō-shîm} predicates a transformed status of holiness, and the prepositional phrase leeloheichem {לֵאלֹהֵיכֶם | le-el-ō-hê-chem} conveys relational belonging to God. The interplay of imperfect and vav-consecutive perfect underscores assured outcome, while the parallel clauses reinforce the covenant link between obedience and holiness.
