dying
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').

to die
| Morphological Notes | Qal infinitive absolute; verbal noun form expressing the simple action of dying, often used for emphasis or certainty when paired with a finite verb. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal infinitive absolute expresses the verbal idea of the root מות in its simple active sense, denoting the act or state of dying. Rendering it as "to die" preserves both the core root meaning and its non-finite verbal form. |
