SIBI-P1 H7760-60
and I set
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וְ with Qal wayyiqtol (converted imperfect) 1st common singular of שׂוּם; narrative past sequence, active voice. |
| Rendering Rationale | The root שׂום carries the core idea of placing or setting something in position, whether physically or figuratively (appointing, assigning). The Qal wayyiqtol 1st common singular form conveys simple active past narrative action, hence "and I set," preserving both the root sense and the first-person singular subject with the prefixed conjunction. |
