I will make
To set, place, or put something in a location or position, either concretely (objects, persons) or abstractly (thoughts, intentions, honor, blame, laws, boundaries). The verb is highly versatile, expressing a range from literal physical placement to figurative acts of appointing, assigning value, ascribing action or reputation, planning, imposing, or designating. 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.

SIBI-P1 Translation H7760-07
I will set him
| Morphological Notes | Qal imperfect, 1st person common singular with 3rd masculine singular pronominal suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal imperfect first person singular conveys a simple active future or modal action, "I will set/put." The 3rd masculine singular suffix -נוּ here functions as "him," preserving the direct object in the rendering. |

SILEX v2
SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
I will make him
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | P1 'I will set him' is less contextually appropriate because the verb here expresses 'make' or 'appoint into,' not literal placement. Context calls for 'I will make him' (as in, 'make him a nation'), matching common translations and SILEX range. |
