Exegesis
The causal connector ki {כִּי | kî} introduces the motivation: yesh {יֵשׁ | yēš} asserts certainty (“there is”), and the predicate sakhar {שָׂכָר | sā-ḵār} ‘reward’ is further specified by the prepositional phrase lif'ulatkhem {לִפְעֻלַּתְכֶם | lip̄-ʿul-lat-ḵem} ‘for your work’, expressing that recompense corresponds to their deeds. The discourse flow therefore moves from exhortation (positive command + negative restraint) to grounded assurance (cause clause), strengthening the call to perseverance with a stated outcome.
