I will set
| Root | שׂום (s-w-m) |
| Core Meanings | placing, setting, appointing, positioning, assigning |
| Semantic Range | to put, set, place, lay, appoint, assign, establish, impose, designate, fix, determine |
| Conceptual Significance | שׂוּם is a foundational verb of action and authority in Biblical Hebrew, frequently used for divine acts of appointing, establishing, or positioning people and realities. It conveys intentional placement—whether physical, social, or covenantal—underscoring themes of divine ordering and purposeful arrangement in Israel’s theology. |
| Morphological Notes | Qal imperfect (yiqtol) 1st common singular of שׂוּם. The form אָשִׂים shows the characteristic 1cs prefix א- with hireq-yod vowel pattern; no gender distinction in 1cs. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal imperfect 1st common singular form expresses a simple active future or volitional action by the speaker. "I will set" preserves the root idea of placing or positioning (שׂוּם) without narrowing it to a secondary sense like "make," while accurately reflecting the first-person singular verbal form. |
