Exegesis
The conjunction kî {כִּֽי־ | kî} ‘because’ introduces the rationale linked to the infinitive li-znôt {לִזְנ֖וֹת | li-znôt} ‘to act as a prostitute’.
In context — Deuteronomy 22:21
And you shall bring out the young woman to the entrance of her father’s house, and the men of her city shall stone her with stones, and she shall die, because she has done a disgraceful act in Israel by acting as a prostitute in her father’s house. So you shall purge the evil from your midst.
