Exegesis
The clause concludes with the definite phrase ʾet-habbeʾer hazot {אֶת־הַבְּאֵר הַזֹּאת | ʾeṯ hab-bə-ʾêr haz-zōʾṯ} ‘this well.’ In English, the first ki is rendered as “Because” (formal) or “so” (dynamic) to capture causal nuance, and the second ki as “that” to reflect content introduction. The purpose-result baavur clause becomes “it will serve as” (formal) and “so they may” (dynamic) to convey legal stipulation.
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.”
