Exegesis
The conjunctive ki-al-ken {כִּֽי־עַל־כֵּ֤ן | kî-‘al-kên} reinforces divine rationale, linking to shavtem {שַׁבְתֶּם | šav-tem} “turned away” from meacharei YHWH {מֵאַחֲרֵי יְהוָה | me-‘a-ḥă-rê yə-hō-wāh}, signaling covenant infidelity.
The final clause velo-yihyeh YHWH immakhem {וְלֹא־יִהְיֶה יְהוָה עִמָּכֶם | wə-lo yi-hi-yeh yə-hō-wāh ‘im-mā-khem} uses the negative vav-lo plus imperfect to convey God’s deliberate absence. English mirrors these structures with “for/because,” maintains spatial immediacy, and reflects the sequence of action and judgment.

In context — Numbers 14:43
For the Amalekite and the Canaanite are there before you, and you will fall by the sword, therefore you have turned away from the LORD , and the LORD will not be with you.
