Exegesis
The conjunction ki {כִּ֣י | kî} introduces a causal clause, and the perfect shama {שָׁמַ֔ע | šā-maʿ} ‘He has heard’ underscores completed divine perception of telunoteikhem {תְּלֻנֹּתֵיכֶֽם | tə-lun-nō-ṯê-ḵem} ‘your complaints.’ The verse embeds Aaron’s commission within Moses’ declaration, and the rendering of ki as “for” in the formal and “because” in the dynamic preserves the causal linkage while accommodating different stylistic registers.
In context — Exodus 16:9
Then Moses said to Aaron, “Speak to the assembly of all the sons of Israel: ‘Approach the LORD , for He has heard your complaints.’”
