to-die
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 H4191-38
to die
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem, infinitive construct with prefixed ל ("to"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The form is Qal infinitive construct of מות, expressing the simple action of dying. In Qal, the root denotes cessation of life without causative force, so the basic rendering 'to die' preserves both root meaning and stem. |
