mûwth
and put him to death
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 H4191-108
and he caused him to die
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Hiphil (causative), sequential imperfect (wayyiqtol), 3rd person masculine singular with 3ms pronominal suffix ("him"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The Hiphil stem gives the causative sense "to cause to die" rather than simply "to die." The 3ms sequential imperfect with 3ms suffix yields "and he caused him to die," preserving both subject and object morphology. |
