Exegesis
The conjunction ki {כִּי | kî} introduces the causal clause whose subject is the divine name YHWH {יְהוָה | Yə-hō-wāh} and verb is the Piel perfect, diber {דִּבֵּר | di-ber}, indicating authoritative speech. The structure shifts from urgent address to theological rationale, underscoring humility before divine authority.
