Because
Causal particle introducing an explanation, justification, or reason; most often rendered 'because', 'on account of', or 'since.' Functions adverbially or conjunctively to introduce the grounds or motivation for a preceding or following statement. Often appears in divine pronouncements, legal texts, or prophetic speech to mark the rationale for an action, judgment, or event; it does not denote purpose or finality, but rather gives the pre-existing or motivating rationale for the stated situation.
