Exegesis
The construct chain elohei yisra'el {אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל | ʾĕ-lō-hê Yiśraʾēl} emphasizes covenantal identity, and the repetition of the direct object marker etkhem {אֶתְכֶם | ʾet-kem} underscores the exclusivity of the priestly audience.
In context — Numbers 16:9
Is it a small thing for you that the God of Israel has set you apart from the congregation of Israel to bring you near to Himself, to serve the work of the tabernacle of the LORD and to stand before the congregation to minister to them?
