Exegesis
The conditional clause begins with ve-im {וְאִם | wə-ʾim} ‘and if’ followed by the negation lo-matsa {לֹא־מָצָאָה | lō-mə-ṣā-ʾā} ‘not found’, where yado {יָד֗וֹ | yā-dō} ‘his hand’ functions idiomatically as ability, modified by dei {דֵּי | dē} ‘enough’.
Root and etymology
“to find, attain”
In context — Leviticus 25:28
And if he does not find sufficient means to restore it to him, then what was sold shall remain in the hand of the buyer until the Jubilee year; and it shall go out in the Jubilee, and he shall return to his possession.
