Exegesis
The result statement ba-midbar ha-zeh yitammu ve-sham yamutu {בַּמִּדְבָּר הַזֶּה יִתַּמּוּ וְשָׁם יָמֻתוּ | ba-middbār haz-zéh yittammû wə-šām yāmūtû} uses imperfect verbs in a temporal-locative structure to signal the finality of divine retribution. English rendering shifts from VSO to SVO and transforms the Hebrew participle into a relative clause to preserve the emphasis on collective rebellion and punishment.
In context — Numbers 14:35
