he shall die

Rootמות (m-w-t)
Core Meaningsdeath, dying, mortality, killing, perishing
Semantic Rangeto die physically, to perish, to come to an end, to face death as a penalty, to be doomed to death; in some contexts, used in legal formulas for capital punishment.
Conceptual Significanceמות expresses the fundamental biblical reality of mortality and the covenantal consequence of sin. It is central to legal pronouncements ("he shall surely die"), wisdom reflections on human frailty, and theological themes concerning judgment, life, and redemption.
Morphological NotesQal (simple active) imperfect, 3rd masculine singular from the root מות. The imperfect may express future action, habitual action, or modal nuance (e.g., legal consequence).
Rendering RationaleThe verb is Qal imperfect 3rd masculine singular, indicating a simple, active action performed by a masculine singular subject. "He shall die" preserves the basic, intransitive sense of the root מות in the Qal stem and accurately reflects the gender, number, and person of the form.
