Exegesis

The prepositional phrase michuts lair {מִחוּץ לָעִיר | mīḥūṣ lāʿîr} ‘from outside to the city’ designates the execution site, and the Piel imperfect wayyiskeluhu {וַיִּסְקְלֻהוּ | wayyiskəlûhûw} ‘and they stoned him’ conveys the result. English syntax closely mirrors Hebrew order, preserving the procedural and judicial tone.
