Exegesis
Conjunction ki {כִּֽי־ | ki} introduces a causal clause where oru {אֹ֣רוּ | o-ru} ‘have become bright’ predicates einai {עֵינַ֔י | ei-nai}, and the second ki {כִּ֣י | ki} leads to ta’amti {טָעַ֔מְתִּי | ta-am-ti} modified by me’at {מְעַ֖ט | me-ʿat} and d’vash hazeh {דְּבַשׁ הַזֶּה | de-vash ha-zeh}. English SVO reorders VSO and condenses causal-entreaty sequences to maintain immediacy and vivid cause-and-effect.
