I placed
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem, perfect (qatal), 1st person common singular. |

SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
I set
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | Standardized from "I have set". The Hebrew verb שַׂמְתִּי is 1st‑singular perfect (I set/have set). Context does not require a present‑perfect nuance; rendering it as the standard "I set" accurately conveys the meaning and preserves consistency with the chosen standard for this form. |
