Exegesis
The second im {אִם | ʾim} introduces the apodosis with the existential negation ʾēn {אֵין | ʾēn} “there is not,” followed by the vav-consecutive Nifal wə-nimmakkār {וְנִמְכַּר | wə-nim-ma-kkār} “and he shall be sold,” indicating forced servitude for bi-gnevatō {בִּגְנֵבָתוֹ | bi-gne-va-tō} “theft.” This conditional sequence contrasts nighttime self-defense (v.2) with accountability at dawn.
In context — Exodus 22:3
But if the sun has risen upon him, bloodguilt shall rest on the one who struck him; the thief must make full restitution. If he has nothing, then he shall be sold for his theft .
