Set!

Rootשׂום (ś-w-m)
Core Meaningsto put, place, set, appoint, establish, assign
Semantic Rangeto put or place physically, to set in position, to appoint or assign, to establish, to fix attention, to impose, to designate by name, to determine or resolve
Conceptual SignificanceThis root expresses intentional placement or establishment—whether of objects, people, words, or purposes. It often conveys deliberate action in establishing order, appointing roles, or directing attention, reflecting themes of divine appointment and human responsibility in the biblical narrative.
Morphological NotesQal imperative, 2nd person masculine singular, from the primitive root שׂום/שׂים. The Qal stem expresses the simple active sense: to put, place, or set.
Rendering RationaleThe form is Qal imperative masculine singular, a direct command to one male: "Set!" This rendering preserves the core root idea of placing or establishing something while clearly reflecting the second-person masculine singular imperative force of the verb.
