Exegesis
The second conjunction ki {כִּי | kî} shifts to a content function (‘that’), linking to the perfected action chafarti {חָפַרְתִּי | ḥā-par-tî} ‘I have dug.’
In context — Genesis 21:30
And he said, “Because you will take these seven ewe-lambs from my hand, it will serve as a witness that I have dug this well.”
