Exegesis
The conjunction ki {כִּי | kî} “for/because” begins the reason clause, leading to ani {אֲנִי | ʾă-nî} “I” and the compound divine title YHWH eloheichem {יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵיכֶם | Yə-hō-wāh ʾĕ-lō-hê-ḵem} “the LORD your God.” The repetitive structure and chiastic balance underscore legal parity, and English renders the repeated verbs for clarity while placing the causal clause at the end for emphasis.
In context — Leviticus 24:22
There shall be one law for you, as for the sojourner and as for the native-born, for I am the LORD your God .
