Exegesis
The conjunction ki {כִּי־ | kî} introduces the causal clause ki-li ha-arets {כִּי־לִ֖י הָאָ֑רֶץ | kî-lī hā-ʾā-reṣ} ‘for the land is Mine’, where the pronominal suffix on lī asserts divine ownership.
In context — Leviticus 25:23
And the land shall not be sold for extinction , for the land is Mine ; for you are sojourners and resident aliens with Me.
