and he placed

Morphological NotesConjunction waw + Qal wayyiqtol (vav-consecutive imperfect) 3rd masculine singular from שׂוּם. Narrative past tense form commonly used in sequential storytelling.
Rendering RationaleThe verb is Qal wayyiqtol 3rd masculine singular, indicating a completed past narrative action by a male subject: “and he placed.” The rendering preserves the root sense of deliberately putting or setting something in position, while reflecting the masculine singular subject and sequential narrative force of the waw-consecutive.
