Exegesis
The causal conjunction kihotsi {כִּי־הוֹצִ֧יא | kî-hô-ṣîʾ} ‘because he brought out’ signals the transition to the defining deliverance event, with YHWH {יְהוָה | Yə-hō-wāh} ‘the LORD’ as the agent. The structure shifts from general divine activity under the title Elohim to personal covenant action under the name YHWH, highlighting both universal power and particular redemption in the exodus.

“to cause to go out”
In context — Exodus 18:1
And Jethro, the priest of Midian and Moses’ father-in-law, heard of all that God had accomplished for Moses and for Israel his people—how the LORD had brought Israel out from Egypt.
