Explanation: This word is a verb, specifically the third person plural pluperfect active indicative form of the verb ἵστημι (histēmi), meaning 'to stand' or 'to cause to stand'. The pluperfect tense indicates an action that was completed in the past before another past action. Therefore, it describes a state of having stood or having been set up. It can also function as an aorist (simple past) in some contexts, meaning 'they stood'.
