Exegesis
The final prepositional phrase tachat {תַּחַת | tā·ḥat} ‘in place of’ with sheno {שֵׁנוֹ | šē·nô} ‘his tooth’ underlines the substitution principle. The English renders the protasis–apodosis pattern with ‘If… must’, preserving the sequential legal logic and cause-and-effect structure of the Hebrew.
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.
