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.
