Exegesis
The vav-consecutive form va-’āḵālāh {וַאֲכָלָהּ | va·’a·ḵā·lāh} ‘and he may eat it’ contrasts with an alternate exception through the infinitive construct māḵōr {מָכֹר | mā·ḵōr} ‘selling’ plus le-nōḵrī {לְנָכְרִי | le·nō·ḵrī} ‘to a foreigner.’
In context — Deuteronomy 14:21
You must not eat any carcass ; you may give it to the sojourner in your gates, and he may eat it, or you may sell it to a foreigner. For you are a people set apart to the LORD your God . You shall not boil a young goat in its mother’s milk.
