mûwth
and-they-killed
To die, to cease living; to come to the end of life through natural, violent, or judicial means. Functions both as an intransitive verb (to die, to perish) and, in derived stems, as a causative (to put to death, to kill). The semantic range extends metaphorically to describe the loss of vitality, the end of lineage, or spiritual death, and is used idiomatically for expressing certainty ('to surely die').

SIBI-P1 Translation H4191-105
and they put to death
| Morphological Notes | Verb; Hiphil (causative); sequential imperfect (vav-consecutive); 3rd person masculine plural. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Hiphil stem makes the verb causative, shifting from "to die" to "to cause to die." The sequential imperfect 3rd masculine plural is reflected as "and they" performing the act of putting to death. |
