Exegesis
The vav-consecutive velakach {وְלָקַח | wə-lāqaḥ} plus be'alav {בְּעָלָיו | bə-‘ālāv} shifts to the owner’s response, “then the owner shall accept,” while the subsequent vav-consecutive velo yeshalllem {וְלֹא יְשַׁלֵּם | wə-lō yăšallēm} delivers the judicial outcome “and he shall not make restitution.” This sequence of perfect verbs in conditional and consecutive constructions communicates legal certainty and divine authority within the Hebrew syntax.
