Exegesis
The conjunction ki {כִּ֥י | kî} introduces the divine refusal in loatsdiq {לֹא־אַצְדִּ֖יק | lōʾ-ʾaṣ-dîq}, where the Hiphil imperfect expresses God’s refusal to acquit. This balance between human obligation and divine judgment highlights the covenant’s demand for justice.
Root and etymology
z-k-rzayin-kaph-resh
“to remember, invoke”
In context — Exodus 23:7
Keep far from a matter of falsehood, and do not kill the innocent and the just; for I will not acquit the wicked.
