Exegesis
The nominal clause hanefāshōṯ hā‘ōsōt {הַנְּפָשׁ֥וֹת הָעֹשֹׂת | hanefāshōṯ hā‘ōsōt} ‘the souls doing them’ marks the affected persons, and the source phrase miq-qerev ’ammām {מִקֶּרֶב עַמָּם | miq-qerev ’ammām} ‘from among their people’ emphasizes communal exclusion. The translation replicates the Hebrew structure to preserve legal force, individual responsibility, and communal separation.
