SIBI-P1 H8085-50
I have heard and taken heed
| Root | שמע (š-m-ʿ) |
| Core Meanings | hearing, listening, attentiveness, obedience, perception |
| Semantic Range | to hear audibly, to listen attentively, to understand, to take heed, to obey, to receive a report, to grant an audience |
| Conceptual Significance | שמע is foundational in biblical theology, expressing not mere auditory reception but covenantal responsiveness. To "hear" often implies faithful obedience to YHWH’s word (e.g., the Shema in Deut 6:4), making the verb central to Israel’s relationship with God as a people who hear and respond. |
| Morphological Notes | Qal stem, perfect (suffix conjugation), 1st common singular. The suffix -תִּי (-ti) marks first person singular; Qal expresses the simple/active voice. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form is Qal perfect 1st common singular, indicating a completed action by the speaker: "I have heard." Because the root שמע carries the sense not only of auditory hearing but also attentive listening that can lead to obedience, "and taken heed" preserves the fuller semantic force of the root while maintaining the first-person singular form. |
