SIBI-P1 H7896-20

he will set in place

Rootשית (š-y-t)
Core Meaningsplacing, setting, appointing, fixing in position, laying upon
Semantic Rangeto set, place, lay, appoint, impose, establish, fix, assign, apply
Conceptual SignificanceThis verb often marks deliberate establishment—whether of laws, burdens, boundaries, or purposes—highlighting intentional ordering or imposition. In theological contexts, it can underscore divine sovereignty in setting decrees, placing judgments, or establishing conditions within covenantal history.
Morphological NotesHiphil imperfect, 3rd person masculine singular. The Hiphil stem gives a causative sense: "to cause to be placed" or "to set/appoint." The imperfect denotes incomplete or future action.
Rendering RationaleThe root שית conveys the act of placing, setting, or appointing something in position. As a Hiphil imperfect 3rd masculine singular form, it expresses a causative action performed by "he" in a future or incomplete sense—thus "he will set in place," preserving both the causative nuance and the masculine singular subject.
