SIBI-P1 H7760-68

and they set in place

Morphological NotesVerb in Qal stem; wayyiqtol (waw-consecutive imperfect) 3rd person masculine plural, indicating sequential past narrative action: "and they set/placed."
Rendering RationaleThe Qal stem conveys a simple active action of placing or setting. The wayyiqtol form with prefixed waw marks past narrative sequence, and the 3rd masculine plural ending is reflected in "they." "Set in place" preserves the root sense of intentional placement or positioning inherent in שׂים.
