Exegesis
The Qal imperfect ta‘aseh {תַּעֲשֶׂה | ta‘ăsêh} ‘you shall do’ initiates the directive, followed by the construct phrases le-shorkha {לְשׁוֹרְךָ | lə-šôrəḵā} ‘to your ox’ and le-tsonkha {לְצֹאנֶךָ | lə-ṣōʾānəḵā} ‘to your flock’, each marked for ownership by second person suffixes.
In context — Exodus 22:30
In this way you shall do with your ox and with your flock: for seven days it shall be with its mother ; on the eighth day you shall give it to Me .
