mûwth
put her to death
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 H4191-74
you will put her to death
| Morphological Notes | Hiphil imperfect, 2nd person masculine plural + 3rd person feminine singular suffix |
| Rendering Rationale | The Hiphil stem gives a causative sense, "to cause to die" or "to put to death." The imperfect 2nd person masculine plural with 3rd feminine singular suffix yields "you (pl.) will cause her to die," preserved concisely as "you will put her to death." |
