Its usage can span from setting a physical object in place, through the allocation of responsibility or decision, to the attribution of qualities, states, or purposes.

and you (masculine plural) will set/place
| Morphological Notes | Verb; Qal; sequential perfect (vav-consecutive); 2nd person masculine plural. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal stem preserves the simple active sense "to set/place." The 2nd person masculine plural sequential perfect conveys "and you (mp) will set/place," maintaining both person, number, and the prefixed conjunction. |

SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
and you (masculine plural) will set
| Same as P1 | Yes |
| Rationale | Standardized from "and you (masculine plural) will set/place". The Hebrew verb is שׂים (set/put). In this context “set” fully conveys the meaning (“set these my words upon your heart”) and there is no special nuance requiring the double synonym “set/place.” For consistency, use the standard single rendering. |
