Exegesis
The verbless result besakhro ba {בְּשַׂכְרוֹ בָּא | bə-šā-ḵôrô bāʾ} ‘its hire has come’ implies sufficiency of payment. This succinct coordination of conditional clauses and the verbless apodosis reflects the style of Hebrew legal discourse.
In context — Exodus 22:15
If the owner is with it, he will not pay; if it is a hired animal, its hire has come.
