Exegesis
The conjunction ki {כִּ֥י | kî} introduces the causal clause Elohim ra’inu {אֱלֹהִ֖ים רָאִֽינוּ | ʾĕlōhîm rāʾînû}, where the perfect verb conveys a completed divine manifestation. The English translation preserves Hebrew emphasis through modal certainty and explicit causal linkage.
In context — Judges 13:22
And Manoah said to his wife, “We will surely perish , for we have beheld God .”
