Exegesis
The next vav-consecutive in umetu {וּמֵתוּ | ū-mê-tû} ‘and they will die’ links the consequence, with the locative bo {ב֖וֹ | bō} ‘in it.’
In context — Leviticus 22:9
And they shall keep My charge so that they do not bear sin upon it and die in it, because they profane it. I am the LORD who sanctifies them.
