Exegesis
The final clause lo noda {לֹא נוֹדַע | lōʾ nôḏaʿ} ‘it is not known’ with mi hikkahu {מִי הִכָּהוּ | mî hikkāhû} ‘who struck him’ forms an impersonal negation with an interrogative pronoun to highlight the unknown perpetrator. This construction, combining a conditional protasis, relative clause, participial descriptions, and impersonal negation, exemplifies Deuteronomic casuistic legislation.
In context — Deuteronomy 21:1
If a person is found slain in the land which the LORD your God gives you to possess , lying fallen in the field, and it is not known who struck him.
