Exegesis
The clause beyofyekh {בְּיָפְיֵ֑ךְ | bə-yā-phyə-ḵ} ‘because of your beauty’ linked by ki {כִּ֣י | kî} ‘for’ provides causal force, further modified by the adjective kalil {כָּלִ֣יל | kā-lîl} ‘perfect’.
In context — Ezekiel 16:14
And your renown went out among the nations because of your beauty, for it was perfect through My splendor which I placed upon you, declares the Lord GOD .
