SIBI-P1 H8085-42

from hearkening

Rootשמע (š-m-ʿ)
Core Meaningshearing, listening, attentive response, obedience, proclamation
Semantic Rangeto hear, listen attentively, heed, obey, respond, perceive, understand, be informed, proclaim (in causative contexts)
Conceptual Significanceשָׁמַע is central to Israel’s covenant life, especially in the Shema (Deut 6:4), where hearing implies faithful obedience. "From hearkening" often marks either the source of consequence or separation from obedient listening, underscoring the covenantal link between hearing and doing.
Morphological NotesPreposition מִן ("from") + Qal infinitive construct of שָׁמַע; verbal noun expressing the act of hearing or heeding without person, gender, or number marking.
Rendering RationaleThe form consists of the preposition מִן ("from") prefixed to the Qal infinitive construct שְׁמוֹעַ ("to hear, to heed"). "Hearkening" preserves the root sense of attentive, responsive hearing that often implies obedience, while "from" accurately reflects the prefixed preposition.
