Exegesis
The directive employs a double Hiphil sequence using the imperative hashev {הָשֵׁב | hā-šēb} and the imperfect teshivem {תְּשִׁיבֵם | tə-šî-bēm}, emphasizing immediate command and sustained obligation. English renders the Hebrew VSO order into an English conditional clause with SVO order for clarity.
In context — Deuteronomy 22:1
You shall not see your brother’s ox or his sheep straying and hide yourself from them; you shall surely return them to your brother.
