SIBI-P1 H7760-21
he set
| Root | שׂום (ś-w-m) |
| Core Meanings | placing, setting, appointing, establishing, assigning |
| Semantic Range | to put, place, set, lay, appoint, assign, establish, impose, designate, fix, direct attention toward |
| Conceptual Significance | This verb is foundational in biblical thought for acts of intentional placement or appointment—whether setting laws before people, appointing leaders, placing a name, or establishing covenantal signs. It often conveys purposeful ordering by human or divine agency, especially YHWH’s sovereign setting of boundaries, authorities, or purposes. |
| Morphological Notes | Verb from the root שׂום in the Qal stem; attested here primarily as perfect 3rd masculine singular (HVqp3ms), with some occurrences as Qal participle masculine singular absolute (HVqrmsa). The form שָׂם represents a contracted Qal perfect and participial spelling. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal stem expresses the simple action of placing or setting. The perfect 3rd masculine singular form indicates a completed action performed by a male subject, hence "he set," which preserves both the root idea of deliberate placement and the grammatical gender, number, and person. |
