Exegesis
The verse begins with the conjunction ve’et {וְאֶת־ | wə-ʾet} ‘and + direct-object marker’, linking the direct object beneihem {בְּנֵיהֶם | bə-nē-hēm} ‘their sons’ to the verb hemit {הֵמִית | hē-mît} ‘put to death’, which is negated by lo {לֹא | lōʾ} ‘not’.
Root and etymology
m-w-tmem–vav–tav
“to kill”
In context — 2 Chronicles 25:4
Yet he refrained from putting their sons to death, because it is written in the Law in the Book of Moses that the LORD commanded: “Fathers shall not die for their children, and children shall not die for their fathers; each one shall die for his own sin .”
