and he died

Rootמות (m-w-t)
Core Meaningsto die, to perish, death, cessation of life
Semantic Rangeto die physically, to perish, to lose life, to face death, to be put to death (in other stems), figuratively to experience ruin or destruction
Conceptual Significanceמות expresses the fundamental human reality of mortality introduced after the fall and repeated throughout biblical genealogies and narratives. Its recurring use underscores the consequence of sin, the brevity of life, and the universal reign of death in contrast to the life given by יהוה.
Morphological NotesConjunction וַ + Qal wayyiqtol (preterite) 3rd masculine singular of מות. The form advances past narrative sequence: "and he died."
Rendering RationaleThe verb is Qal wayyiqtol 3rd masculine singular, indicating a simple past narrative action performed by a masculine singular subject. "And he died" preserves the basic root meaning of מות (to die) and accurately reflects the sequential narrative force of the vav-consecutive form.
