Exegesis
The verse begins with the conditional particle vekhi {וְכִי | wə-ḵî} ‘and if’, introducing two parallel protases with the qal imperfect verbs yif-tach {יִפְתַּח | yif-tāḥ} ‘opens’ and yik-reh {יִכְרֶה | yiḵ-rĕ} ‘digs’, each taking ish {אִישׁ | ʾîš} ‘man’ as subject and bor {בּוֹר | bōr} ‘pit’ as direct object.
In context — Exodus 21:33
