How it is used

خَرَجَ is the plain intransitive verb 'to go out' or 'come forth,' set directly against دَخَلَ, 'to enter.' It occurs in the Qur'an in the phrase يَوْمُ الخُرُوج, 'the Day of Going-Forth,' a name for the Day of Resurrection, when the dead are said to rise from their graves. Note that the transitive sense 'to expel, drive out' belongs to the related causative form أَخْرَجَ (akhraja), not to خَرَجَ itself, which never takes a direct object in this basic form.

يُخْرِجْهُ lead him

A causative verb — 'make him go out, drive him to' — with 'him' attached as its object. Its ending is clipped because 'lam' before it forces the jussive. The hidden subject is the earlier 'it', so the whole reads 'as long as it does not drive him to...'.
