WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING AT

בְּגִין

בגין is a high-frequency Zoharic connector. It can give a reason, explain a causal relationship, or participate in purpose expressions. The English should be selected from the actual sentence rather than fixed permanently as “because.” Its importance is structural: it tells you how the next phrase relates to what came before.
