Exegesis
The result clause opens with the prepositional phrase ba-esh {בָּאֵשׁ | bā-ʾēš} ‘with fire’ followed by the niphal imperfect tissaref {תִּשָּׂרֵף | tiš-ṣā-rēp̄} ‘she shall be burned’, expressing passive judgment. This structure highlights the conditional cause-and-effect pattern, framing the defilement as ongoing breach (piel participle) and the future punitive response (niphal imperfect).
In context — Leviticus 21:9
And the daughter of any priest, if she begins to prostitute , she profanes her father; she shall be burned with fire .
