Exegesis

The causal conjunction ki {כִּֽי | kî} introduces a negative existential clause with ein {אֵ֞ין | ʾên} prefaced by im {עִם־ | ʿim}, specifying that with YHWH Eloheinu {אֱלֹהֵ֗ינוּ | ʾĕlōhênû} there is no avlah {עַוְלָ֛ה | ʿāwālāh}, massa panim {מַשֹּׂא פָנִים | masśāʾ pānîm}, or mikach shochad {מִקַּח־שֹׁחַד | məqqāḥ šōḥaḏ}, an enumerative parallelism that underscores divine justice and impartiality.
