| Core Meanings | plant, set in the earth, establish by planting, implant, instill |
| Semantic Range | to plant vegetation, to establish or found, to set firmly in place, to implant inwardly (such as teaching or character), to cause growth by intentional placement |
| Conceptual Significance | Planting imagery in Scripture often signifies divine establishment, covenantal rooting, or the intentional imparting of life and teaching. The act of planting conveys purposeful initiation of growth, whether of people, communities, or truth implanted in the heart. |
| Morphological Notes | Verb; imperfect tense; active voice; indicative mood; third person singular. The imperfect denotes continuous or repeated action in past time, with the subject actively performing the planting. |
| Rendering Rationale | The verb φυτεύω means to plant or set into the earth, whether literally or figuratively. The imperfect active indicative, third person singular form (ἐφύτευσεν, per the provided morphology) is rendered "was planting" to reflect ongoing or repeated past action performed by a singular subject. |
