Exegesis
The causal conjunction ki {כִּי | kî} ‘because’ heads the reason clause containing the maqqef-bound compound et-kol-eleh {אֶת־כָּל־אֵלֶּה | ʾeṭ-kôl-ʾêlleh} ‘all these’ and the Qal perfect verb asu {עָשׂוּ | ʿāśû} ‘they have done.’
In context — Leviticus 20:23
And you shall not walk in the statutes of the nation which I am driving out from before you, because they did all these things, and I abhorred them.
