מֻתָ֖/ן
𐤌𐤕/𐤍
mâveth
of-their-dying
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 H4194-23
their dying
| Morphological Notes | Qal infinitive construct of מות with 3rd person feminine plural pronominal suffix |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal infinitive construct expresses the simple action "to die," and with the 3rd person feminine plural suffix it becomes a verbal noun meaning "their dying." This preserves both the root sense of מוּת and the attached pronominal morphology. |
