وَإِلَّا فَافْتَدِ مِنْهُ
Otherwise, ransom it from him.
فَافْتَدِ — then ransom. The connector 'fa-' (then) attached to a command form, 'ransom!'. The 'fa-' is the 'then' that answers the preceding 'otherwise', tying the order to its condition. The imperative carries its 'you' inside, so the order needs no separate pronoun.
