SIBI-P1 Translation H7760-96
you (masculine plural) set
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem, imperative, 2nd person masculine plural; prefixed וְ conjunction ("and"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal imperative 2nd person masculine plural of שׂום calls for a direct command addressed to multiple males: “set” or “place.” The rendering preserves the core idea of positioning or assigning while reflecting the masculine plural imperative form. |
