Exegesis
The prepositional phrase be-gappo {בְּגַפּוֹ | bə-gappô} ‘by himself’ frames both arrival (yavo {יָבֹא | yā-ḇōʾ} ‘he comes’) and departure (yetse {יֵצֵא | yē-ṣēʾ} ‘he goes out’) in a chiastic structure.
In context — Exodus 21:3
If he comes by himself , he shall go out by himself. If he is a husband , then his wife shall go out with him.
