Exegesis
The verb skenōsei {σκηνώσει | skēnṓsei} ‘he will dwell’ intensifies relational intimacy, echoed by met auton {μετʼ αὐτῶν | metʼ autōn} ‘with them.’
The emphatic autoi laoi autou esontai {αὐτοὶ λαοὶ αὐτοῦ | autoí laoí autoû ésontai} ‘they shall be peoples of him’ underscores covenant belonging, and the climactic autos ho theos met auton estai {αὐτὸς ὁ θεὸς μετʼ αὐτῶν | autòs ho theós metʼ autōn éstai} ‘God Himself will be with them’ completes a chiasm of mutual indwelling.
