Exegesis
The prepositional phrase bachuts {בַּחוּץ | bachuts} ‘outside’ specifies a public venue, and al-mishanto {עַל־מִשְׁעַנְתוֹ | ʿal-mišʿānātô} ‘upon his staff’ highlights partial dependence.
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.
