Exegesis
Finally, the community’s role is expressed by ʿam hā-ʾāreṣ yirgemūhū bā-ʾāben {עַ֥ם הָאָ֖רֶץ יִרְגְּמֻ֥הוּ בָאָֽבֶן | ʿam hāʾāreṣ yirgemūhū baʾāḇen} ‘the people of the land shall stone him with the stone’, highlighting collective responsibility. These structural and emphatic features are rendered in both English versions with parallel distributive and intensification patterns, adapted for idiomatic clarity.
In context — Leviticus 20:2
And to the sons of Israel you shall say: Any man, any man from the sons of Israel and any sojourner in Israel who gives any of his offspring to Molech shall surely be put to death; the people of the land shall stone him with stones .
