SIBI-P1 H4191-135

he shall be made to die

Rootמות (m-w-t)
Core Meaningsdeath, dying, mortality, causing death
Semantic Rangeto die naturally, to suffer death, to be executed, to be put to death judicially, to bring about death (in other stems)
Conceptual SignificanceThis form frequently appears in covenantal and legal contexts prescribing capital punishment. It underscores the seriousness of covenant violation and the principle that certain transgressions result in divinely sanctioned death, reflecting the gravity of holiness and justice in Israel’s law.
Morphological NotesVerb from מות in the Hophil stem, imperfect (yiqtol) 3rd masculine singular; causative passive—"he will be caused to die."
Rendering RationaleThe root מות fundamentally denotes dying or death. In this Hophil (causative passive) imperfect 3rd masculine singular form, the verb means that the subject (he) is caused to die. "He shall be made to die" preserves the causative force of the stem and the masculine singular third-person subject indicated by the morphology.
