Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: A primitive root

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The corresponding Greek entry in Strong's Concordance is G1283 (διατίθημι, diatithēmi), which also carries the meaning of setting, placing, or appointing. This Greek verb is used in the New Testament to describe the act of making a covenant or testament, reflecting a similar concept of establishing or setting something in place.

Usage: This Aramaic verb is used in the context of placing or setting something in a particular position or condition. It is often used in the context of establishing or appointing.

Context: The Aramaic verb שׂוּם (sum) is a primitive root that appears in the context of the Hebrew Bible, particularly in the Aramaic portions of the Old Testament, such as the books of Daniel and Ezra. It conveys the action of placing, setting, or appointing something or someone in a specific position or role. This verb is used to describe both physical placement and metaphorical or administrative appointments.

In the book of Daniel, שׂוּם is used to describe the act of setting up or establishing decrees and laws. For example, in Daniel 6:8 (BSB), it is used in the context of establishing a royal statute: "Now, O king, establish the injunction and sign the document so that it cannot be changed, in accordance with the law of the Medes and Persians, which cannot be repealed."

Similarly, in Ezra 7:25 (BSB), the verb is used in the context of appointing judges and magistrates: "And you, Ezra, according to the wisdom of your God, which you possess, appoint magistrates and judges to judge all the people in the province beyond the River—all those who know the laws of your God. And you are to teach these laws to anyone who does not know them."

The verb שׂוּם is significant in understanding the administrative and legal practices of the ancient Near East, as it often pertains to the establishment of laws, decrees, and appointments within a governance structure.
