Exegesis
It employs the emphatic repetition of the Niphal form himmāṣēʾ {הִמָּצֵא | himmāṣēʾ} ‘to be found’ as an infinitive construct followed by timmāṣēʾ {תִמָּצֵא | timmāṣēʾ} ‘he is found’, intensifying the discovery motif.
In context — Exodus 22:4
If the stolen item is found in his possession—whether it be an ox, a donkey, or a sheep—and it is alive, he shall pay double .
