Exegesis
The participles hannoef {הַנֹּאֵ֖ף | han-nō-ʾef} and ve-hannoefet {וְהַנֹּאָֽפֶת | wə-han-nō-ʾā-p̄et} conclude the verse, identifying the guilty parties. English translation preserves the conditional protases and renders the final participles and legal judgment clearly to reflect the Hebrew’s formal legal style.
In context — Leviticus 20:10
If a man commits adultery with his neighbor’s wife, both the adulterer and the adulteress must surely be put to death .
