Exegesis
The combination of veʾatem {וְאַתֶּ֗ם | wə-ʾa-têm} with the perfect yedaʿtem {יְדַעְתֶּם֙ | yə-ḏaʿ-têm} introduces a causal clause with ki {כִּֽי־ | kî}, indicating settled understanding.
In context — Exodus 23:9
You shall not oppress the foreigner, for you know the soul of the foreigner and you yourselves were strangers in the land .
