Exegesis
The conditional ve-im {וְאִם־ | wə-’im} ‘and if’ sets a protasis in a first-class conditional, paired with nishteh {נִשְׁתֶּה֙ | ništēh} ‘we will drink’ to frame a provision.
In context — Numbers 20:19
And the sons of Israel said to him, “We will go up by the highway, and if we and our livestock drink your water , we will pay its price. Only, there is no other matter—let us pass through on foot.”
