Exegesis
The Hophal imperfect yumat {יוּמַת | yûmat} conveys passive execution of hamet {הַמֵּת | hammēṯ}, with the negative clause lōʾ yûmat ʿal-pî ʿêd ʾeḥād {לֹא יוּמַת עַל־פִּי עֵד אֶחָד} forming a chiastic structure to reinforce procedural safeguards.
In context — Deuteronomy 17:6
On the word of two witnesses or three witnesses, the one to die shall be executed; no one shall be put to death on the word of only one witness.
