you have set

Rootשית (š-y-t)
Core Meaningsplacing, setting, appointing, establishing, assigning
Semantic Rangeto place, set, appoint, establish, assign, lay, impose, fix, direct attention toward
Conceptual SignificanceThe root שית frequently conveys intentional placement or appointment, whether of objects, responsibilities, or divine decrees. It underscores purposeful action—often by God or a leader—in establishing order, boundaries, or destiny within the covenantal narrative.
Morphological NotesVerb in Qal stem, perfect 2nd masculine singular; some occurrences include a paragogic ה. The dataset also reflects a separate feminine singular noun form (HNcfsa) spelled שִׁטָּה, but the verbal forms derive from the root שית (H7896).
Rendering RationaleThe form is Qal perfect, second masculine singular (HVqv2ms), expressing a completed action performed by a male singular subject. Rendering it as "you have set" preserves the core sense of placing or establishing inherent in the root שית while accurately reflecting the masculine singular and completed aspect; the final ה likely functions as a paragogic marker without altering person or number.
