Exegesis
A second causal ki-yir-ḥaq {כִּֽי־יִרְחַק | kî-yir-ḥaq} ‘because it is distant’ links the task’s impracticality to the distance expressed by mimekha ha-ma-qom {מִמְּךָ֙ הַמָּקוֹם | mi-me-kha ha-mā-qôm} ‘from you the place’.
Root and etymology
q-w-mqof–vav–mem

In context — Deuteronomy 14:24
But if the way is too much for you because you cannot carry it, because the place the LORD your God chooses to put his name is distant from you, since the LORD your God blesses you .
