SIBI-P1 H4191-01

I will cause to die

Rootמות (m-w-t)
Core Meaningsdeath, dying, cessation of life, mortality
Semantic Rangeto die; to be dead; to put to death; to execute; to bring about death; figuratively, to bring ruin or destruction
Conceptual SignificanceThe root מות expresses the fundamental biblical reality of death as the consequence of sin and divine judgment. In the Hiphil, it often signifies judicial or divinely sanctioned execution, underscoring the authority of God or human agents acting under covenantal law to administer life and death.
Morphological NotesVerb; Hiphil stem (causative); imperfect form; 1st person common singular. The Hiphil expresses causing the action of the root (death) to occur.
Rendering RationaleThe root מות fundamentally denotes death or the state of dying. In the Hiphil stem it takes a causative sense, meaning "to cause to die" or "to put to death." The morphology (Hiphil, 1st common singular) requires the rendering "I will cause to die," preserving both the causative force and the first-person singular subject.
