י֣וּמַת
𐤉𐤅𐤌𐤕
mûwth
let 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)
let him be put to death
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | P1 'he will be put to death' does not convey the entreaty/request sense; the audience is urging the king, so 'let him be put to death' better matches the causative (hiphil) and the context. |
