Exegesis
The perfect verb asu {עָשׂ֖וּ | ʿa-sū} confirms the act’s completion, and the idiom dmeihem bam {דְּמֵיהֶ֥ם בָּֽם | də-mē-hem bam} ‘their blood upon them’ signals self-incurred judicial responsibility. English rendering shifts from verb-final Hebrew to subject-verb order and preserves the emphatic infinitive absolute structure.
In context — Leviticus 20:12
Any man who lies with his daughter-in-law shall surely be put to death; they have committed perversion , and their blood shall be upon them.
