SIBI-P1 H8085-34

upon hearing

Morphological NotesPreposition כְּ ("as/when/upon") + Qal infinitive construct of שָׁמַע. No explicit subject; person and gender are supplied by context. The Qal stem conveys the basic, active sense "to hear."
Rendering RationaleThe form consists of the preposition כְּ ("as/when/upon") prefixed to the Qal infinitive construct of שָׁמַע ("to hear"). The rendering "upon hearing" preserves the simple active sense of the Qal stem and reflects the temporal force of the prefixed preposition, without adding a specific subject not present in the Hebrew form.
