Exegesis
The conjunction ki {כִּי | kî} introduces the historical motive, marked by the preposition bechipazon {בְחִפָּזוֹן | bə·ḥip·pā·zōn} ‘in haste’.
In context — Deuteronomy 16:3
You shall not eat leavened bread with it. For seven days you shall eat unleavened bread with it, bread of affliction . For in haste you went out from the land of Egypt, so that you may remember the day of your coming out from the land of Egypt all the days of your life.
