I think we should invent a new genitive use called "beneficial genitive" for this usage-- i.e. a covenant FOR THE BENEFIT of the people and a light FOR THE BENEFIT of the nations... :D

> 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.
