Exegesis
The conjunction ki {כִּ֧י | kî} introduces the causal Hifil perfect phrase et-sheero heerah {אֶת־שְׁאֵר֛וֹ הֶעֱרָ֖ה | ʾet-še-ʾêrô he-ʿe-rāh} ‘for he has uncovered his close relative,’ where the Hifil stem denotes causative action.
In context — Leviticus 20:19
You shall not uncover the nakedness of your mother’s sister or your father’s sister, for that is to uncover one’s close relative; they shall bear their iniquity .
