Exegesis

The second protasis repeats im-lo, leading to the idiom shalach yado {שָׁלַח יָדוֹ | šā-lāḥ yā-dō} ‘to stretch out a hand’, signifying wrongful appropriation.

In context — Exodus 22:8

If the thief is not found, the owner of the house must approach God to determine whether he has not stretched out his hand into his neighbor’s property.
