Exegesis
The vav consecutive form ve-hayetah {וְהָיְתָה | wə-hā-yə-wāh} with a Qal perfect introduces the result clause that presents ge-u-lato {גְּאֻלָּתוֹ | gə-’ū-lā-tô} ‘its redemption right’ as a standing privilege.
In context — Leviticus 25:29
And if a man sells a dwelling house in a walled city, then its right of redemption shall remain until the completion of a full year from its sale. For the days that make up that year, his redemption right shall stand.
