Paraphrase

Thus they will know that I am THE ETERNAL AND PERSONAL GOD, and I am committed to being THEIR OWNER AND RULER in a special way. I am also the one who brought them out of the land known as THE PLACE THAT IS BOUND BY SIN; I did so in order to dwell in the middle of them. I repeat, I am THE ETERNAL AND PERSONAL GOD, and I am committed to being THEIR OWNER AND RULER in a special way.

Footnotes

1

The form of the Hebrew name used here is not Elohim, but a possessive form that means “their God.” I have chosen to use the more familiar form (Elohim) so everyone will immediately know who is being referred to, but please understand that in Hebrew it looks a bit different while the meaning behind the name is the same.

2

Once again the Hebrew word used is not Elohim, but a possessive form of Elohim. I have used Elohim in the Translation column so that everyone will easily recognize the name.
