Exegesis
The instrumental phrase badever gadol {בְּדֶבֶר גָּדֹול | bə-de-ḇer gā-ḏōl} ‘by a great pestilence’ specifies the means of execution, and the final verb yamutu {יָמֻתוּ | yā-mu-ṯû} ‘they will die’ concludes the prophetic decree with collective certainty.
In context — Jeremiah 21:6
I will strike the inhabitants of this city—both people and animals—and they will die by a great pestilence.
