Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(9) Thine hand shall be first upon him to put him to death.--A law tending to prevent false accusation. Where the witness is obliged to carry out himself, or to aid in carrying out, the sentence he demands, secret accusation is impossible; and it is far less easy to pervert the law in order to prosecute a private quarrel.Parallel Commentaries ...HebrewInstead,כִּ֤י (kî)ConjunctionStrong's 3588: A relative conjunctionyou must surely kill him.הָרֹג֙ (hā·rōḡ)Verb - Qal - Infinitive absoluteStrong's 2026: To smite with deadly intentYour handיָֽדְךָ֛ (yā·ḏə·ḵā)Noun - feminine singular construct | second person masculine singularStrong's 3027: A handmust beתִּֽהְיֶה־ (tih·yeh-)Verb - Qal - Imperfect - third person feminine singularStrong's 1961: To fall out, come to pass, become, bethe firstבָרִֽאשׁוֹנָ֖ה (ḇā·ri·šō·w·nāh)Preposition-b, Article | Adjective - feminine singularStrong's 7223: First, in place, time, rankagainst himבּ֥וֹ (bōw)Preposition | third person masculine singularStrong's Hebrew to put him to death,לַהֲמִית֑וֹ (la·hă·mî·ṯōw)Preposition-l | Verb - Hifil - Infinitive construct | third person masculine singularStrong's 4191: To die, to killand thenבָּאַחֲרֹנָֽה׃ (bā·’a·ḥă·rō·nāh)Preposition-b, Article | Adjective - feminine singularStrong's 314: Hinder, late, last, westernthe handsוְיַ֥ד (wə·yaḏ)Conjunctive waw | Noun - feminine singular constructStrong's 3027: A handof allכָּל־ (kāl-)Noun - masculine singular constructStrong's 3605: The whole, all, any, everythe people.הָעָ֖ם (hā·‘ām)Article | Noun - masculine singularStrong's 5971: A people, a tribe, troops, attendants, a flockJump to PreviousAfterwards Death Hand Hands Kill Last Putting Question Stretched Surely
