Exegesis
The conjunction yaan asher {יַ֛עַן אֲשֶׁ֥ר | ya-ʿan ʾă-šer} ‘because that’ marks the causal clause; the Hifʻil perfect harimotikha {הֲרִימֹתִ֖יךָ | hə-rî-mō-ṯî-ḵā} ‘I raised you up’ highlights divine agency.
In context — 1 Kings 14:7
Go, say to Jeroboam, “Thus says the LORD , the God of Israel : ‘Because I raised you up from among the people and made you leader over My people Israel.’”
