Consider the following two phrases:

noli timere: exaudivit enim Deus vocem pueri de loco in quo est (Genesis 21:17b)

 

et benedicentur in semine tuo omnes gentes terrae, quia obedisti voci meae (Genesis 22:18)

As I understand them, both are used in the sense of "for/because", but quia normally appears at the beginning of a sentence, whereas enim appears second in the sentence. Is this the only relevant difference, when it comes to the for/because meaning? (They have other meanings too, but my question is not about them.)
