Exegesis
The quoted law uses paired prohibitions with repeated Hophal forms lo-yumetu {לֹא־יוּמְתוּ | lō-yūmātu}, setting fathers and sons in balanced parallelism to forbid vicarious punishment.
In context — 2 Kings 14:6
But the sons of the killers he did not put to death, as written in the Book of the Law of Moses, which the LORD commanded, saying, “Fathers shall not be put to death for sons, and sons shall not be put to death for fathers; but a man, for his own sin, shall die; he shall be put to death.”
