SIBI-P1 G191-11
let him be hearing
| Root | ἀκούω (akouō) |
| Core Meanings | to hear, to listen, to heed, to perceive by ear, to understand |
| Semantic Range | to hear sounds, to listen attentively, to heed or obey, to understand, to receive a report, to respond to a message |
| Conceptual Significance | In biblical usage, ἀκούω often implies more than auditory reception; it carries covenantal weight of attentive obedience. The repeated exhortation "let him be hearing" calls for responsive, persevering attention to divine revelation, especially in prophetic and apocalyptic contexts. |
| Morphological Notes | Verb, present active imperative, 3rd person singular (Gr,V,MPA3,,S,). Present tense conveys ongoing or continuous action; active voice; imperative mood expressing command or exhortation directed toward a third-person singular subject. |
| Rendering Rationale | The verb is present active imperative, third person singular, expressing a command for ongoing or continuous action. "Let him be hearing" preserves the imperative force ("let him"), the singular third person, and the present tense aspect of continued or habitual listening inherent in the Greek form. |
