Exegesis
The verse opens with the conditional conjunction ki {כִּי | kî} ‘if/when’, introducing a casuistic law.
The verb tetse {תֵצֵא | tēṣēʼ} ‘goes out’ precedes its noun esh {אֵשׁ | ʼēš} ‘fire’, reflecting Hebrew verb–subject order rendered as subject–verb in English.
In context — Exodus 22:6
If a fire goes out and finds thorns, and a heap or the standing grain or the field is consumed, the one who kindled the burning must make complete restitution.
