In Isa 49:6 we read IDOU TEQEIKA SE EIS DIAQHKHN GENOUS EIS FWS EQNWN TOU EINAI SE.  I have two questions.
1.  What kind of genitives are GENOUS and EQNWN?  They seem in the context to be the recipients of direct objects, e.g., "I have set you to be a covenant to the people, a light to the nations."  
2.  How can we determine if TOU EINAI SE goes with the words before it or the words after it?  Thanks.

Ken
