Place!

Rootשׂום (ś-w-m)
Core Meaningsto put, set, place, appoint, establish, assign
Semantic Rangeto put, set, lay, appoint, assign, establish, impose, designate, apply, fix, direct, consider, or set in order depending on context
Conceptual SignificanceThis verb is foundational in biblical thought for acts of establishing order—setting names, appointing leaders, placing laws before the people, or directing one’s heart. It often marks decisive action that brings structure, intention, or covenantal responsibility into effect.
Morphological NotesQal imperative, 2nd person masculine singular, from the primitive root שׂוּם (also appearing as שִׂים in the imperative form).
Rendering RationaleThe root שׂום carries the core idea of putting or placing something in position. In the Qal stem it expresses the simple act of setting or placing. The form is a masculine singular imperative (2ms), so the rendering "Place!" reflects a direct command addressed to one male individual.
