Exegesis

The negative particle lo {לֹא | lōʾ} precedes the Piel imperfect yeshalem {יְשַׁלֵּם | yə-šăl-lêm} ‘he shall pay’, forming the apodosis that exempts the obligated party from compensation. The protasis–apodosis structure establishes a legal stipulation emphasizing evidentiary presentation and liability shift.
