Exegesis
The causal conjunction ki {כִּ֤י | kī} ‘for’ introduces a mirrored justificatory clause that repeats bekhol-eleh to reinforce inclusivity.
In context — Leviticus 18:24
Do not defile yourselves in any of these ways, for in all these the nations that I am driving out from before you have defiled themselves.
