Strong's Lexicon shaphath: To set, place, put Original Word: שָׁפָת Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct one-to-one correspondence, the Greek verb "τίθημι" (tithēmi), meaning to place or set, can be seen as a conceptual parallel in the New Testament. Usage: The Hebrew verb "shaphath" primarily means to set, place, or put something in a particular position. It is often used in the context of arranging or positioning objects, and can also imply the act of establishing or appointing something or someone in a specific role or location. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the act of setting or placing something was often significant, symbolizing authority, order, and purpose. For example, setting stones or altars was a common practice in religious and cultural rituals, signifying dedication and remembrance. The concept of placing or appointing also extended to leadership roles, where individuals were set in positions of authority by divine or communal decision.
