Exegesis
The apodosis begins with the vav-consecutive perfect venafal {וְנָפַל | wə-nā-pal} ‘and falls’, followed by the locative shamah {שָׁמָּה | šā-mā(h)} ‘there’ and the disjunctive list shor {שׁוֹר | šôr} ‘ox’ and chamor {חֲמוֹר | ḥa-môr} ‘donkey’. The balanced protasis–apodosis structure conveys a legal condition and its consequence.
