mâveth
like the death
Death; the cessation of life, whether by natural or violent means. Also denotes the state or condition of being dead and, by extension, the abstract idea or realm of death. In poetic and prophetic literature, māveth can personify death as a force or power. The word may also refer to pestilence or catastrophic destruction in metaphorical contexts. It is not confined merely to biological death but expresses the resulting state, the realm associated with it, and, at times, the power that death represents.

SIBI-P1 Translation H4194-10
as death of
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular common noun in construct state (מוֹת) with prefixed preposition כְּ ('as/like'). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun מָוֶת derives from מות ('to die') and denotes the state or event of death. In the masculine singular construct with prefixed כְּ ('as/like'), it yields 'as death of,' preserving both the construct relationship and the comparative prefix. |
