Exegesis

Two Qal perfect verbs—taanəkha {תַּעַנְךָ֔ | taʿanˈnekhā} ‘it answers you’ and ufatchah {וּפָתְחָ֖ה | ū-pā-ṭā-ḥāh} ‘it opens’—agree with the implied feminine subject of the city, completing the protasis.

In context — Deuteronomy 20:11

If it answers you with peace and opens to you, then all the people found in it shall become your forced labor and shall serve you.
