Exegesis
The conjunction ki {כִּי | kî} introduces the explanatory clause identifying yom kippurim {יוֹם כִּפֻּרִים֙ | yōm kip-pû-rîm} ‘Day of Atonements’, with hu {הוּא | hû} ‘it is’ serving as the copula.
In context — Leviticus 23:28
And you shall not do any work on the very day , because it is the Day of Atonements, to make atonement for you before the LORD your God .
