In biblical theology, what is "heard" can influence obedience, trust, and covenant response. |
| Morphological Notes | Common feminine singular noun in the absolute state (HNcfsa). Derived from the verbal root שמע and functioning substantivally to denote that which is heard. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun derives from the root שמע (to hear) and is a feminine singular form meaning something that has been heard. Rendering it as "a heard-report" preserves the passive sense embedded in the form—something received by hearing—while reflecting its singular, feminine noun morphology (HNcfsa). |
