יָסַד [“Inf. with prefix לִיסוֹד Isaiah 51:16 לִיסּוֹד (as if from a verb פן֞), 2 Chronicles 31:7. The primary and monosyllabic root is sad, Sanscrit to sit, Lat. sedere, Goth. satjan, to place; compare Eng. to set.” See Thes.]
(1) to found (a building), [“to place a building, hence to found”], Ezra 3:12; Isaiah 54:11. However, this proper and original signification is more frequent in Piel; in Kal commonly poetically used of God as founding the heaven or the earth, Psalms 24:2, 78:69 89:12 102:26 104:5 Job 38:4; Amos 9:6. Also [“to place”] to pile up a heap, appoint, ordain, 2 Chronicles 31:17.
(2) Metaphorically to constitute, to establish, as laws. Psalms 119:152; Habakkuk 1:12, לְהוֹכִיחַ יְסַדְתּוֹ “thou hast ordained it (the Chaldean people) for punishment,” i.e. hast sent, hast called for it; in the other hemistich לְמִשְׁפָּט שַׂמְתּוֹ. Psalms 104:8, “unto the place which thou hast appointed for them,” hast assigned. Isaiah 23:13, “behold the land of the Chaldees … אַשּׁוּר יְסָדָהּ לְצִיִּים” “Assyria appointed it for the inhabitants of the desert,” i.e. for the Chaldees; compare my Commentary on the passage.
Niphal נוֹסַד
(1) to be founded, as a kingdom [“to sit down, settle as men in any country”], Exodus 9:18; Isaiah 44:28.
(2) to support oneself, to lean, or rest on one’s arm; used of men reclining on a couch or cushion, especially as deliberating and consulting together; hence to take counsel together: [This mode of arriving at this sense is rejected in Thes. Gesenius there takes up the idea of to sit together in council], Psalms 2:2, 31:14. Hence סוֹד for יְסוֹד prop. a cushion, a couch, [in Thes. a sitting together], hence a council; and, on the contrary, Arab. ديوان prop. deliberation, sitting together; hence a couch, on which those who consult recline.
Piel יִסַּד
(1) i.q. Kal, to found (a building), [“to place a foundation stone”], with acc., Joshua 6:26 1 Kings 16:34; Zechariah 4:9; Isaiah 14:32, 28:16. Followed also by another acc. of the material. 1 Ki. 5:31, לְיַסֵּד הַבַּיִת אַבְנֵי גָזִית “to lay the foundation of the house with hewn stone.” Figuratively, Psalms 8:3, יִסַּדְתָּ עֹז “thou hast founded glory” for thyself (comp. the usage of the Arabs, who compare glory to a firm and strong edifice; see Muntinghi on the passage).
(2) to appoint, to ordain, with an acc., 1 Chronicles 9:22 followed by עַל Esther 1:8.
Pual יֻסַּד to be founded, 1 Kings 6:37 followed by an acc. of the material, 1 Kings 7:10.
Hophal i.q. Pu. Inf. הוּסַד subst. a foundation, being founded, Ezra 3:11; 2 Chronicles 3:3. Part. מוּסָּד (with dag. forte euphon.) founded. Isai. 28:16, מוּסָד מוּסָּד a founded foundation, i.e. firm, comp. חֵפֶשׂ מְחֻפָּשׂ Psalms 64:7 בָּשֵׁל מְבֻשָּׁל Exodus 12:9.
Derivatives besides those immediately following, יְסוֹד, מוֹסָד, מוּסָד, מוּסָדָה, מַסַּד, סוֹד [and pr.n. בְּסוֹדְיָה].
