mûwth
the dead ones
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').

the dying ones
| Same as P1 | Yes |
| Rationale | Standardized from "the dead ones". The Hebrew participle (those who fell) is rendered by the chosen standard as “the dying ones.” In this context it refers to those who fell in the plague; there is no grammatical or semantic need to render it differently as “the dead ones.” For consistency, change to the standard rendering. |
