SIBI-P1 H7761-02
he set in place
| Root | שׂום (ś-w-m) |
| Core Meanings | placing, setting, appointing, establishing, positioning |
| Semantic Range | to put, place, set, appoint, assign, establish, impose, fix, determine, apply, lay upon |
| Conceptual Significance | שׂום is a foundational verb for acts of ordering and establishing in biblical thought—whether placing objects, appointing leaders, setting laws, or establishing covenantal realities. It often marks decisive action that brings structure, authority, or intentional arrangement into being. |
| Morphological Notes | Qal stem; primarily perfect 3rd masculine singular (שָׂם), with identical spelling also used for the masculine singular participle. The form here reflects a completed action by a male subject. |
| Rendering Rationale | The root שׂום fundamentally denotes the act of placing or setting something in position. The Qal perfect 3rd masculine singular form conveys a completed action performed by a male subject, thus "he set in place," preserving both the core spatial sense and the grammatical person, gender, and number. |
