Exegesis
In the second clause, the vav-consecutive perfect veyatsata {וְיָצָאתָ | vä-ya-ṣā-ṯā} ‘and you went out’ marks the required action, while the adverb shammah {שָׁמָּה | šā-māh} ‘there’ plus the noun ḥuṣ {חוּץ | ḥūṣ} ‘outside’ reiterates the location for emphasis.
In context — Deuteronomy 23:12
And you shall have a place outside the camp, and you shall go out there—outside .
