Exegesis
The construct besaf habayit {בְסַף־הַבַּ֖יִת | bəśap-habbayyit} ‘at the threshold of the house’ specifies location, and the perfect vehan‘ar met {וְהַנַּ֥עַר מֵֽת | wăhan˓ar mēṯ} ‘and the boy died’ states the outcome. Modern English word order is adjusted for clarity while preserving Hebrew sequence and causal connection.
