Exegesis
The causal particle ki {כִּי | kî} introduces the rationale clause, followed by the repeated divine name YHWH Eloheicha to underscore covenantal blessing.
In context — Deuteronomy 16:15
For seven days you shall celebrate the festival to the LORD your God in the place that the LORD will choose, for the LORD your God will bless you in all your produce and in all the work of your hands; and you shall be only joyful.
