Exegesis
The causative verb yappil {יַפִּיל | yappîl} introduces the owner’s action, while the sequence lachafshi {לַחָפְשִׁי | la·ḥāp̄·šî} ‘to freedom’ followed by yeshhallehennu {יְשַׁלְּחֶנּוּ | yə·šal·le·ḥen·nū} ‘send him away’ forms the apodosis, highlighting the legal consequence.
In context — Exodus 21:27
And if he causes the tooth of his male servant or the tooth of his female servant to fall out, he must send him away to freedom as compensation for his tooth.
