Place
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem, imperative, 2nd person masculine singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal imperative masculine singular calls for a direct command to perform the core action of the root—physically or figuratively positioning or assigning something. "Place" best preserves the broad semantic force of שׂום without narrowing it to a specific context. |
