Exegesis
The paired prepositions bein...ubein {בֵּין...וּבֵין | bêyn...û-bêyn} ‘between...and between’ establish a clear spatial and existential boundary between hametim {הַמֵּתִים | hā-mê-tîm} ‘the dead’ and hachayyim {הַחַיִּים | ha-ḥa-yîm} ‘the living,’ highlighting mediation.
In context — Numbers 16:48
And he stood between the dead and between the living, and the plague was halted.
