Exegesis

The sequence of imperatives vehotsiuhu {וְהוֹצִיאֻ֥הּוּ | wə-hō-ṣî-ʾû-hû} and vesikluhu {וְסִקְלֻ֖הוּ | wə-siq-lû-hû} leads to veyamot {וְיָמֹֽת׃ | wə-yā-mōt}, articulating the capital sentence. English renders the Hebrew VSO order as SVO to preserve procedural clarity and emphasize judicial action.
