Exegesis
The vav-consecutive ū-mēṯ {וּמֵת} ‘and shall die’ enacts the penalty, and ū-vi‘ārtā hā-rā‘ mi-yisrā’ēl {וּבִעַרְתָּ הָרָע מִיִּשְׂרָאֵל} ‘you shall purge the evil from Israel’ uses the piel stem for decisive removal.
In context — Deuteronomy 17:12
And the man who acts in presumption, not listening to the priest who stands there to minister to the LORD your God or to the judge, that man shall die. And you shall remove the evil from Israel.
