Exegesis

The explanatory conjunction ki {כִּי | kî} introduces the causal clause in which she’er {שְׁאֵר | še-ʾer} ‘close relative’ is predicated of imməḵā {אִמְּךָ | ʾimməḵā} ‘your mother’ via the pronoun hûʾ {הִוא | hûʾ} ‘she’. The structure emphasizes the specific familial boundary established by the legislation and is preserved by maintaining the order and terms of the construct chain in English.

In contextLeviticus 18:13

You shall not uncover the nakedness of your mother’s sister, for she is your mother’s close relative.
