death

Rootמות (m-w-t)
Core Meaningsto die, death, bring to death, state of dying
Semantic Rangephysical death (natural or violent), the state of being dead, the realm of the dead, pestilence, ruin, deadly peril.
Conceptual Significanceמוות represents not only physical cessation of life but also covenantal consequence, divine judgment, and separation from the land of the living. It stands in theological tension with life (חיים), marking the boundary between blessing and curse, obedience and rebellion in Israel’s covenant worldview.
Morphological NotesCommon masculine singular noun in the absolute state (HNcmsa); from the verbal root מות (Qal: to die; Hiphil: to cause to die).
Rendering RationaleThe noun מָוֶת is a masculine singular absolute form derived from the root מות ("to die"). Rendering it as "death" preserves the direct connection to the verbal idea of dying while accurately reflecting its masculine singular, absolute morphology without added definiteness or plurality.
