you will set in place

Rootשית (sh-y-t)
Core Meaningsplacing, setting, positioning, appointing, applying
Semantic Rangeto place, set, put, lay, appoint, assign, fix, establish, apply, impose, consider
Conceptual Significanceשית expresses the deliberate act of positioning or appointing, often describing YHWH setting boundaries, placing judgments, or appointing roles. It conveys purposeful ordering—establishing something in its proper place within covenantal, moral, or cosmic structure.
Morphological NotesVerb, Qal stem, imperfect (yiqtol), 2nd person masculine singular from שִׁית (H7896). The Qal stem conveys simple active action; the imperfect denotes incomplete, future, or modal action depending on context.
Rendering RationaleThe root שית carries the core idea of placing or setting something in position. The Qal imperfect 2nd masculine singular form תָּשִׁית expresses a simple active action performed by "you" (masculine singular), typically future or modal in sense, hence "you will set in place," preserving both the root’s spatial nuance and the verbal force.
