SIBI-P1 H7760-50
to set in place
| Root | שׂום (ś-w-m) |
| Core Meanings | placing, setting, positioning, appointing, assigning |
| Semantic Range | to put, place, set, lay, appoint, assign, establish, impose, apply, fix, determine, make (something to be in a state) |
| Conceptual Significance | This root underlies many covenantal and legal actions in Scripture—setting laws, placing names, appointing leaders, establishing boundaries. It conveys intentional ordering and arrangement, reflecting divine sovereignty in establishing structure and purpose within creation and covenant life. |
| Morphological Notes | Qal infinitive construct of the primitive root שׂום/שׂים; active, simple stem expressing the foundational action "to place, set, appoint." |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal infinitive construct expresses the basic verbal idea of the root in its simplest active sense. "To set in place" preserves the core meaning of deliberate placement or positioning inherent in שׂום, while accurately reflecting the infinitive ("to...") form in the Qal stem. |
