Exegesis
The vav-consecutive ve-yatse’ah {וְיָצְאָה | və-yā-ṣē’āh} ‘and-she-goes-out’ shifts the focus to the wife’s departure, and the construct chain ishto immo {אִשְׁתּוֹ עִמּוֹ | ’išttôʾ ’immôʾ} ‘his-wife with-him’ emphasizes joint release. The English renderings preserve this logical sequence of condition and result.
