Exegesis

The conjunction ki {כִּי | kî} introduces the reason clause ki-mum-bo {כִּי־מוּם בּוֹ | kî-mūm bô} “for a defect is in him,” where mum {מוּם | mūm} functions as predicate noun.

In contextLeviticus 21:23

However, he shall not come to the curtain, and he shall not approach the altar, for there is a defect in him; and he shall not profane My sanctuaries, for I am the LORD who sanctifies them.
