Exegesis
The vav-consecutive vehayetah {וְהָיְתָ֤ה | wə-hā-yə-tāh} ‘and it shall be’ frames the result clause with the substitution formula naphshekha takhat naphsho {נַפְשְׁךָ֙ תַּ֣חַת נַפְשׁ֔וֹ | nap-šek-kha ṭa-ḥat nap-šō} ‘your life instead of his life’, repeated for veammekha takhat ammo {וְעַמְּךָ֖ תַּ֥חַת עַמּֽוֹ | wə-ʿam-mə-kha ṭa-ḥat ʿam-mō} ‘and your people instead of his people’, establishing a parallelism that underscores proportional retribution in a legal context.
In context — 1 Kings 20:42
And he said to him, “Thus says the LORD : Because you have released the man I had devoted to destruction from your hand, your life shall go in place of his life, and your people in place of his people.”
