Exegesis
The locative dəmēhēm bām {דְּמֵיהֶם בָּם | dəmēhēm bām} assigns legal liability to the offender. The Hebrew verb–subject–object order and parallel legal phrasing reinforce the solemn tone of the statute.
In context — Leviticus 20:27
Any man or woman who is a medium or a spiritist shall surely be put to death; with stones they shall stone them; their blood is upon them.
