Exegesis
The juxtaposed clause am lo-yadati {עַם לֹא־יָדַעְתִּי | ʿam lō-yā-daʿ-tî} ‘a people I did not know’ and the final Qal imperfect yaavduni {יַעַבְדֻנִי | ya-ʿav-dū-nî} ‘will serve me’ creates a result relationship, emphasizing universal obedience. A chiastic structure (deliver–enthronement–service) highlights theological progression from rescue to authority to submission.
