In the other Testament 6 words

שׂוּם sûwm · H7760 · to take position, to place, to put: Greek τίθημι emphasizes passive/horizontal placement posture, while Hebrew שׂוּם broadly covers appointing, setting, establishing with wider idiomaticity; both share core semantics of deliberate positioning/placement action, making them standard translation equivalents across their overlapping semantic range.
נָתַן nâthan · H5414 · to give, to grant a covenant: Hebrew נָתַן primarily means 'to give,' with a causative sense of putting something into someone's possession, while Greek τίθημι focuses on the physical act of placing or setting something in position; the two overlap substantially in contexts of establishing, appointing, or causing something to be in a certain state, making τίθημι a recognized Greek equivalent of נָתַן in those contexts.
נוּחַ nûwach · H5117 · to wait, to pause, to rest: τίθημι (títhēmi, G5087) is the broader Greek verb for placing or setting something in position, while נוּחַ (nûwach, H5117) specifically emphasizes the cessation of motion and settling into rest, often translated as 'to lay down' or 'to set down' with connotations of repose; the overlap occurs where τίθημι renders contexts of laying something to rest or depositing it in a final position.
נְחַת nᵉchath · H5182 · carry, come down, depose: Both denote the act of placing or setting down objects, with τίθημι emphasizing horizontal positioning and נְחַת emphasizing downward motion in placement.
שׂוּם sûwm · H7761 · command, give, lay: Hebrew שׂוּם (sûwm, H7761) and Greek τίθημι (títhēmi, G5087) share the core semantic domain of placing/setting with both literal and figurative applications; Greek τίθημι specifically emphasizes horizontal/passive positioning (as distinct from ἵστημι's vertical placement), while Hebrew שׂוּם encompasses the broader set/place/appoint range without the positional nuance, making them strong translation equivalents across the LXX corpus.
שִׁית shîyth · H7896 · to take position, to place, to put: Hebrew שִׁית (shîyth, H7896) and Greek τίθημι (títhēmi, G5087) both denote the act of placing, setting, or laying something in position, with both terms covering literal physical placement and figurative applications (establishing, appointing, ordaining); the LXX translators consistently employed τίθημι to render שִׁית across contexts requiring this semantic range.
