Exegesis
The dual noun sheneihem {שְׁנֵיהֶם | šənê-hêm} 'both of them' extends the penalty collectively, and the idiom demeihem bam {דְּמֵיהֶם בָּם | dəmê-hêm bām} 'their blood is upon them' conveys self-inflicted responsibility and communal purity.
In context — Leviticus 20:11
And if a man lies with his father's wife, he has uncovered his father's nakedness . They shall surely be put to death, both of them; their blood is upon them.
