mûwth
shall be put 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 H4191-135
he will be put to death
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Hophal (causative passive), imperfect, 3rd person masculine singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Hophal stem is the passive of the causative (Hiphil), indicating that the subject is caused to die. The imperfect 3rd masculine singular form yields "he will be put to death," preserving both passive voice and singular masculine morphology. |

SILEX v2
SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
he will be caused to die
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | Standardized from "he shall be put to death". The Hebrew (וְהָיָה הַבָּא אֶל־הַבַּיִת לָמוּת) conveys that anyone who comes into the house will die; the standard “he will be caused to die” carries the same passive/result meaning as the current “he shall be put to death.” There is no contextual or grammatical need to retain the alternate phrasing, so the standard rendering should be applied for consistency. |
