Exegesis
The conjunction kî introduces the priest’s restriction in kî ʾāmar hakkōhēn lōʾ təmîṯūhā bēṯ YHWH {כִּ֚י אָמַר הַכֹּהֵן לֹא תְמִית֖וּהָ בֵּ֥ית יְהוָֽה | kî ʾāmar hakkōhēn lōʾ təmîṯūhā bēṯ YHWH} ‘for the priest had said, “Do not put her to death in the house of the LORD,”’ setting a sacred boundary that underscores the holiness of the sanctuary.
In context — 2 Chronicles 23:14
Jehoiada the priest brought out the commanders of the hundreds who were appointed over the force and said to them, “Take her out between the ranks ; and whoever goes after her shall be put to death by the sword. For the priest had said, ‘Do not put her to death in the house of the LORD .’”
