Exegesis
Mitsrayim {מִצְרַיִם | miṣ-ray-yim} serves as the subject, and the conjunction ki {כִּי | kî} introduces the causal clause leading to self-identification of ani YHWH {אֲנִי יְהוָה | ’ănî yə-hō-wāh}.
In context — Exodus 7:5
And the Egyptians will know that I am the LORD when I stretch out my hand against Egypt and bring out the children of Israel from their midst.
