Exegesis
This is followed by the Qal imperfect yakum {יָקוּם | yāqûm} ‘he rises’ and the Hitpael imperfect vehithallelēk {וְהִתְהַלֵּךְ | vehithallelēk} ‘and he walks’, where the Hitpael stem conveys regained agency.
In context — Exodus 21:19
If he rises and walks outside upon his staff, then the striker is acquitted; he shall pay only for his sitting , and he shall certainly cause him to be healed.
