Exegesis
The causal clause baavur zeh asah YHWH li {בַּעֲב֣וּר זֶה עָשָׂה יְהוָה לִי | ba-ʿă-vūr zeh ʿā-sāh Yə-hō-wāh lī} uses baavur ‘on account of’ with zeh as the explicative pronoun, while the infinitive betseti mimmitsrayim {בְּצֵאתִי מִמִּצְרָיִם | bə-ṣē-ʾ-ṭî mim-miṣ-rā-yim} provides temporal-historical grounding. This sequence highlights the covenant command supported by the foundational event of the Exodus.
In context — Exodus 13:8
And you shall tell your son on that day, saying, “This is because of what the LORD did for me when I went out from Egypt .”
