Exegesis
The vav-consecutive perfect ve-yaldah-lo {וְיָלְדָה־לוֹ | wə-ya-lə-ḏāh-lō} ‘and she bears to him’ specifies banim/banot {בָּנִים/בָּנוֹת | bā-nîm/bā-nôt} ‘sons or daughters’.
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 .
