in the two ears of

Rootאזן (ʾ-z-n)
Core Meaningsear, hearing, listening, attentiveness, giving heed
Semantic Rangephysical ear; hearing; the faculty of listening; attentive reception; audience; that which is heard or reported; figuratively, willingness or refusal to heed.
Conceptual SignificanceIn biblical thought, the “ear” represents not merely the organ of hearing but the posture of obedience and responsiveness. To speak “in the ears of” someone is to place words within their sphere of attention and accountability, underscoring the covenantal importance of hearing and heeding divine instruction.
Morphological NotesPreposition בְּ (“in”) prefixed to a feminine dual noun in construct form (Ncfdc). The dual form ("two ears") reflects the natural pair and functions idiomatically as “ears of” in construct with a following noun or suffix.
Rendering RationaleThe noun אֹזֶן is feminine, and here it appears in the dual construct form אָזְנֵי with the prefixed preposition בְּ (“in”). Rendering it as “in the two ears of” preserves the dual number and concrete imagery of the Hebrew while reflecting the construct relationship indicated by the morphology.
