Exegesis

The infinitive absolute sakol {סָקוֹל | sā-qōl} coupled with the Niphal imperfect yissakel {יִסָּקֵל | yis-sā-qēl} ‘shall surely be stoned’ and its parallel yaroh {יָרֹה | yā-rōh} with yiyareh {יִיָּרֶה | yiy-yā-rēh} ‘shall surely be shot’ intensify the prescribed penalty.

In context — Exodus 19:13

No hand is to touch him, for he shall surely be stoned or shot; whether beast or man, he shall not live . When the ram’s horn sounds long, then they may go up the mountain.
