Exegesis
The verb met {מֵת | mēt} ‘died’ marks a completed action followed by ba-midbar {בַּמִּדְבָּר | ba-mid-bār} ‘in the wilderness,’ situating the event historically.
The causal conjunction ki introduces be-chet’o met {בְחֶטְא֣וֹ מֵ֔ת | bə-ḥet-ʾō mēt} ‘in his sin he died,’ linking guilt to death.
In context — Numbers 27:3
Our father died in the wilderness, and he was not in the midst of the congregation—the ones assembling against the LORD in the company of Korah; rather, he died for his own sin and he had no sons.
