וָ/מֵ֑תוּ
𐤅/𐤌𐤕𐤅
mûwth
and-they-die
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 H4191-98
and they died
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem, sequential perfect (vav-consecutive), 3rd person common plural. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal stem expresses the simple intransitive action "to die." The sequential perfect with prefixed conjunction ו conveys a past narrative action in the third person common plural, hence "and they died." |

SILEX v2
SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
and they will die
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | P1 'and they died' is past tense; the Hebrew is a waw-consecutive with imperfect, indicating consequence or warning, so 'and they will die' matches the force and context. |
