Exegesis
The conditional im-lo {אִם־לֹא | ʼim-lō} with the perfect verb shalach {שָׁלַח | šālaḥ} and accusative yado {יָדוֹ | yādô} forms the protasis, “if he has not stretched out his hand.”
In context — Exodus 22:11
The oath of the LORD shall be between the two of them: if he has not stretched out his hand in the property of his companion, then its owner shall accept it, and he shall not make restitution.
