Morphological NotesQal imperfect (yiqtol) 1st common singular from שית; simple active stem expressing incomplete or future action: "I will set/place."
Rendering RationaleThe root שית conveys the basic action of placing or setting something in position. The form is Qal imperfect 1st common singular (HVqi1cs), indicating simple active voice and future or volitional aspect, hence "I will set in place," preserving both the root sense of deliberate placement and the first-person singular subject.
