Exegesis
The restrictive particle raq {רַק | raq} ‘only’ narrows the obligation to the noun shivto {שִׁבְתּוֹ | šibâṯô} ‘his sitting’, defining the compensable period.
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.
