To cause to sit, to set or place (someone or something) in a seat or position; (intransitive) to sit down, to take a seat. Figuratively, to settle, establish, or appoint to a position.

SIBI-P1 Translation G2523-09
might seat
| Morphological Notes | Verb; aorist tense (simple/completed aspect), active voice, subjunctive mood, 3rd person singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The aorist active subjunctive, third person singular, expresses a simple or potential act: "might seat." The rendering preserves the causative core sense of placing or causing someone to sit, inherent in καθίζω. |

SILEX v2
SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
will sit
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | The subjunctive verb here is future-referring in context: 'will sit' or 'shall sit' is better than 'might seat,' which is causative and not fitting here. |
