Exegesis
The conjunction ki {כִּי | kî} introduces the causal clause where anokhi {אָנֹכִי | ʾānōkhî} and the compound divine name YHWH Eloheikha {יְהוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ | Yəhōwāh ʾĕlōhē-khā} assert divine authority.
In context — Exodus 20:5
You shall not bow down to them or serve them, because I, the LORD your God , am a jealous God who visits the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and to the fourth generations of those who hate Me.
