Exegesis
The infinitive absolute mot plus imperfect tamut intensifies certainty, extending to atta we-khol asher lakh {אַתָּה וְכָל־אֲשֶׁר־לָךְ | ʾat-tāh wə-ḵol-ʾă-šer-lāḵ} ‘you and all that belong to you,’ a legal formula binding the king’s household to his fate.
In context — Genesis 20:7
Now return the man’s wife, for he is a prophet; he will pray for you, and you shall live. But if you do not return her, know that you shall surely die—you and all that are yours.
