SIBI-P1 H241-12

his listening-ear

Rootאזן (ʾ-z-n)
Core Meaningsear, hearing, listening, giving attention, weighing
Semantic Rangephysical ear, capacity to hear, attentive listening, receptivity to instruction, responsiveness, figurative attention or obedience
Conceptual SignificanceIn biblical thought, the ear represents not only the physical organ of hearing but the posture of obedience and receptivity to YHWH’s word. To incline or open one’s ear signifies humility and covenantal responsiveness.
Morphological NotesCommon feminine singular noun in construct form (אֹזֶן) with 3rd masculine singular pronominal suffix (־וֹ), literally "ear of him."
Rendering RationaleThe noun אֹזֶן derives from the root אזן, which conveys the ideas of hearing, attentive listening, and even weighing or balancing. Rendering it as "his listening-ear" preserves the concrete anatomical sense while foregrounding the root concept of attentive hearing. The form is feminine singular in construct with a 3rd masculine singular pronominal suffix, accurately reflected by "his" and the singular noun.
