Strong's Lexicon yashat: To set, to place, to put Original Word: יָשַׁט Part of Speech: Verb Transliteration: yashat Pronunciation: yah-SHAT Phonetic Spelling: (yaw-shat') Definition: To set, to place, to put Meaning: to extend Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct one-to-one correspondence between Hebrew and Greek verbs, the concept of setting or placing is captured in Greek by verbs such as τίθημι (tithēmi - Strong's Greek 5087), which also means to place or set. Usage: The Hebrew verb "yashat" primarily means to set, place, or put something in a specific position or location. It conveys the action of arranging or positioning an object or person deliberately. This verb is often used in contexts where something is being established or fixed in place, whether physically or metaphorically. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the act of setting or placing something was often significant, symbolizing order, purpose, and intention. The Hebrew people, living in a world where physical objects and their placement often had spiritual or symbolic meanings, would have understood "yashat" as an action that could denote authority, intention, or divine order. For example, setting stones for an altar or placing the Ark of the Covenant in the Holy of Holies were acts filled with religious significance.
