Exegesis
The nominal clause kol hanogea bahar {כָּל־הַנֹּגֵעַ בָּהָר | kāl han-nō-gē-ʿa bā-hār} ‘everyone touching the mountain’ serves as subject for the niphal imperfect yumat {יוּמָת | yû-māt} ‘he shall be put to death’, establishing an unequivocal capital penalty. The progression from boundary demarcation to prohibition to execution reflects the structured legal style of Sinai legislation.
In context — Exodus 19:12
You shall mark off a boundary for the people all around and say, “Guard yourselves : do not go up the mountain, and do not touch its edge. Whoever touches the mountain shall surely be put to death .”
