Exegesis
The conjunction ki {כִּי | kî} introduces the causal clause, and the emphatic pronoun hu {הוּא | hûʾ} underscores that this promise rests on genuine descent. The imperfect ashimenu retains its future orientation, and the cause–effect relationship marked by ki is preserved in English with “because.” The English word order is slightly smoothed to enhance clarity while maintaining the Hebrew emphasis on divine action and rationale.
In context — Genesis 21:13
And the son of the maidservant I will also make into a nation , because he is your offspring.
