Exegesis
The limiter ki {כִּי | kî} with the exception phrase im-ish {אִם־אִישׁ | ʾim-ʾîš} introduces the sole basis for capital liability: be-cheto {בְּחֶטְאוֹ | bə-ḥeṭʾô} ‘in/for his sin’.

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.”
