Exegesis
A second vav-consecutive verb, venattata {וְנָתַתָּ | wə-nā-ṭā-tā}, governs the prepositional phrases beozno {בְּאָזְנוֹ | bə-ʾōz-nō} and uvdadelet {וּבַדֶּלֶת | u-ḇa-dē-let}, specifying placement through his ear and into the door.
In context — Deuteronomy 15:17
And you shall take the awl , pierce it through his ear into the door, and he shall be your servant forever. And you shall do the same for your maidservant .
