Exegesis
The Qal imperfect yittēn {יִתֵּן | yittēn} ‘he shall give’ introduces the monetary restitution, while the Piel infinitive absolute verappo {וְרַפֹּא | verappōʾ} ‘and healing’ plus the Piel imperfect yerappe {יְרַפֵּא | yerappe} ‘he shall cause to heal’ underscores the binding imperative of full medical restoration. This protasis–apodosis pattern with an infinitive absolute is characteristic of Hebrew legal clauses and emphasizes enforceable and comprehensive obligation.
