you men will die

Rootמות (m-w-t)
Core Meaningsdeath, dying, cessation of life, mortal end
Semantic Rangeto die physically, to face death, to be sentenced to death, to perish, to come to ruin; in some contexts expressing certainty ("you shall surely die").
Conceptual Significanceמות is the primary Hebrew verb for death, central to covenantal warnings and judgments (e.g., "you shall surely die"). It marks the consequence of sin, divine judgment, mortality, and human frailty within the biblical worldview.
Morphological NotesVerb; Qal stem; imperfect (yiqtol) form; 2nd person masculine plural. Denotes incomplete or future action addressed to a group of males or a mixed group grammatically treated as masculine.
Rendering RationaleThe verb is Qal imperfect, second person masculine plural, from the root מות meaning "to die." The rendering "you men will die" preserves the simple active sense of the Qal stem and explicitly reflects the masculine plural address inherent in the form.
