To put, place, set, or appoint; the act of putting or placing something physically or figuratively. The verb occurs with a wide variety of objects and in diverse constructions: setting a person or object in a location, establishing or appointing a role or status, directing or assigning attention or thought, granting or imposing something (such as a law, regulation, or quality), and attributing a name or reputation. Used both literally (to place a stone, set a seal) and metaphorically (to appoint a king, to set one's mind/heart, to impose a tribute or law), 'שׂוּם' indicates intentional placement, assignment, or establishment.

SIBI-P1 Translation H7761-02
placing one
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem, active participle, masculine singular, absolute state. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal active participle masculine singular denotes an ongoing or characteristic action. "Placing one" preserves the root idea of setting or assigning while reflecting the participial, masculine singular form rather than a finite past tense. |
