Exegesis
The phrase al haaretz akheret {עַל הָאָרֶץ אַחֶרֶת | ʿal hā-ʾā-reṣ ʾa-ḥe-ret} ‘forced relocation expression’ marks exile, while the repeated adverb sham {שָׁם | šām} ‘there’ coupled by vesham {וְשָׁם | wə-šām} ‘and there’ frames the inevitability of the Qal imperfect tamutu {תָּמֽוּתוּ | tā-mū-tū} ‘future death’. This construction underscores the legal and emotional weight of the exile pronouncement.
In context — Jeremiah 22:26
And I will hurl you and your mother who bore you upon another land, where you were not born, and there you will die.
