To set, place, or station something or someone; to establish a person in office or position
The Hiphil verb yatsag is a forceful synonym of the common Hebrew word sum ('to put'), but it carries a note of deliberate, authoritative placement. Jacob sets the striped rods before the flocks at the watering troughs (Gen 30:38), and the fleece is placed on the threshing floor by Gideon (Judg 6:37). When applied to persons, it takes on the connotation of formal appointment — Joseph sets his brothers before Pharaoh (Gen 47:2), and Judah pledges to set Benjamin back in his father's presence (Gen 43:9). Spanish poner and French placer both mirror its range, though neither quite captures the vividness the BDB lexicon notes as distinctive to this verb.
Senses
1. place or set physically — The basic physical sense: to place, set, or put an object in a specific location. Jacob places the peeled rods in the water troughs before the flocks (Gen 30:38), Gideon places the fleece on the threshing floor (Judg 6:37), and David places the Ark inside the tent (2 Sam 6:17). German setzen and Spanish poner map directly. The emphasis falls on the deliberate, purposeful act of positioning a physical thing. 8×

2. appoint or establish a person — The personal-authoritative sense: to set a person in a role, present someone formally, or establish someone in a position. Joseph presents his brothers before Pharaoh (Gen 47:2), and Judah pledges to 'set' Benjamin before his father (Gen 43:9). In Job 17:6 the sufferer laments that God has made him a byword. Jeremiah 51:34 uses the image of being 'set down' as an empty vessel. Spanish poner and French placer extend naturally to this institutional usage. 6×

3. station or leave in place — The stative-resultant sense: to station, leave, or let remain in a fixed place, emphasizing the enduring state rather than the initial act. Hosea threatens to 'set her' like a wilderness (Hos 2:3), stripping away adornment and leaving the result. Moses asks Pharaoh to let the little ones remain (Exod 10:24), and Jacob offers to leave part of his household stationed behind (Gen 33:15). The focus is on the settled condition that follows placement. 3×
