Genesis 9:26

וַ יֹּאמֶר בָּרוּךְ יְהֹוָה אֶלֹהֵי שֵׁם וִ יהִי כְנַעַן עֶבֶד לָמֹו
And he is saying: `He-who-is-kneeled352 is Yahweh, elohe of Name,353 And Humbled is becoming a slave to-himself [לְמוֹ].354
354

This Hebrew preposition לְמוֹ lemo is used only in Gen 9:27 and Job 27:14,29:21,38:40. Said to be a “poetic” form. Similar to kemo, the-likeness-of-him.
