SIBI-P1 H7760-48

Set in place!

Morphological NotesVerb, Qal stem, imperative, 2nd person masculine plural (HVqv2mp). The Qal stem expresses the simple active action of placing or setting; the plural ending -וּ marks address to multiple males (or a mixed group).
Rendering RationaleThe root שׂום conveys the act of placing or setting something in position. The form שִׂימוּ is Qal imperative, second masculine plural, so the rendering reflects a direct command addressed to a group: "Set in place!" preserving both the core idea of placement and the plural imperative force.
