in your hearing
| Morphological Notes | Preposition בְּ + Qal infinitive construct of שׁמע with 2nd person masculine singular pronominal suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal infinitive construct of שׁמע denotes the act of hearing or listening; with the prefixed בְּ it expresses "in/at" the act, and the 2ms suffix marks "your" (masculine singular). The rendering preserves the simple auditory sense of the Qal stem and the pronominal possession. |
