Exegesis
The conjunction ki {כִּי | kī} ‘for, because’ introduces the reason: the evaluative phrase mishneh sechar sachir avadekha {מִשְׁנֶה שְׂכַר שָׂכִיר עֲבָדְךָ | mišnêh seḥār sāḵîr ʻăvâdekāh} ‘double the wage of a hired worker your servant’.
In context — Deuteronomy 15:18
It must not be hard in your eyes when you send him away free , for he has served you six years—worth double the wage of a hired worker; and the LORD your God will bless you in all that you do.
