Look at the meaning of this same word mêt that occurs in Deut. 18:18 where the translation ‘will die’ has been done. Exodus 11:5 —( מצרים בארץ בכור כל ומת — u-mêt kal- bə-kō-wr bə-’e-res mis-ra-yim ) And all the firstborn in the land of Egypt shall die, … I Kings 14:12 —… and when thy feet enter into the city ( מת הילד — mêt hay-ya-led ), the child shall die. Jeremiah 28:15 1 —Then said the prophet Jeremiah unto Hananiah the prophet, Hear now, Hananiah; The LORD hath not sent thee; but thou makest this people to trust in a lie. Therefore thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will cast thee from off the face of the earth ( השנה אתה מת — haš-ša- nah ’at-tah mêt ): this year thou shalt die, … So Hananiah the prophet died the same year in the seventh month. 1. In the King James Version, this reference is Jeremiah 28:15–17. [Publisher]
