Footnotes
Mot tamut (מוֹת תָּמוּת) is the Hebrew infinitive absolute construction — literally 'dying you shall die' — a grammatical idiom of absolute certainty. The same structure appears at the threshold of Eden in Gen. 2:17 and functions with the force of divine oath. FOG renders it 'die, yes die' to echo the repetitive, hammer-blow weight of the Hebrew; FOG Message uses 'certainly die' for rhetorical clarity. Both preserve the irrevocable finality of the divine sentence.
