Exegesis
In the reported message, the Pual perfect suqqal {סֻקַּ֥ל | suqqal} ‘has been stoned’ precedes its subject nāḇôṯ {נָב֖וֹת | nāḇôṯ}, reflecting typical passive word order, and the vav-consecutive Qal imperfect wayyāmōṯ {וַיָּמֹֽת | wayyāmōṯ} ‘and he died’ conveys the outcome. This structure highlights the swift delivery of the message and the judicial execution, with English rendering preserving the sequence and the role of the infinitive construct as a reportive marker.
