Exegesis
The apodosis reestablishes the topic with the construct phrase ha-isha viyaldeha {הָאִשָּׁה וִילְדֶיהָ | hā-ʾish-shāh wiy-yal-de-hā} ‘the wife and her children’, followed by the imperfect tihyeh la-adoneha {תִּהְיֶה לַאדֹנֶיהָ | tih-yě-hē la-ʼă-ḏō-ně-hā} indicating legal belonging.
In context — Exodus 21:4
If his master gives him a wife and she bears him sons or daughters, the wife and her children shall belong to her master, and he shall go out by himself .
