Exegesis
The conjunction ki {כִּי | kî} ‘because’ introduces the causal clause of subversion, where bikesh {בִּקֵּשׁ | bî-qēš} ‘he sought’ and the infinitive lehadikha {לְהַדִּיחֲךָ | lə-had-dî-aḥ-kā} ‘to turn you aside’ form the charge of religious betrayal.
In context — Deuteronomy 13:10
And you shall stone him with stones, and he shall die, because he sought to lead you astray from the LORD your God who brought you out from the land of Egypt, from the house of slaves .
