Exegesis

The main clause lōʾ tiḥyeh {לֹא תִּחְיֶה | lōʾ tiḥ-yeh} ‘you shall not live’ delivers the verdict, followed by the causal ki še-qer dibbārtā {כִּי שֶׁקֶר דִּבַּרְתָּ | kî še-qer dĭb-băr-tā} ‘for you have spoken falsehood’, with sheqer {שֶׁקֶר | še-qer} bearing the semantic weight of deception.
