and I set
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem, sequential imperfect (wayyiqtol), 1st person common singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal stem conveys the simple action of placing or setting, and the sequential imperfect 1st person singular form expresses a past narrative action: "and I set." This preserves the core root sense of positioning or assigning without narrowing it to a specific object or context. |
