Exegesis
The reflexive perfect Hitpael form vəhittʿallamta {וְהִתְעַלַּמְתָּ | wə-ḥittʿallamta} indicates intentional avoidance, while the double Hiphil sequence hāqēm {הָקֵם | hāqēm} and ṭoqîm {תָּקִים | ṭoqîm} intensifies the obligation to restore the animal.
In context — Deuteronomy 22:4
You must not see the donkey of your brother or his ox falling in the road and hide yourself from them; you shall surely help him raise them up .
