[Mesorah] One of Ten is Different

[Gershon Rothstein via Mesorah]

The Ba'al Haturim mentions that the phrase "Ani Hashem Elokeichem" 
appears 10 times in Parshas Keddoshim. It does indeed appear 10 times 
but one is different. In nine of them, the word "ani" is separated from 
the other two words with either a /tipcha /or a /pashta/. However in 
only one ( second from the last), the word "ani" is joined to the word 
"Hashem" with a /mercha/. Does anyone have any idea why? Does it change 
the meaning of the phrase?

Thanks, Gershon
