Exegesis
The perfect shalachkha {שָׁלַחְךָ | šālâḥāka} (“he has sent you”) immediately precedes the divine name YHWH {יְהוָה | Yəhōwāh}, attributing the commissioning to God. In translation, ki is rendered as “for” in the formal to stress causation and as “if” in the dynamic to highlight the conditional nature of the signal.
