the ear
| Root | οὖς (ous) |
| Core Meanings | ear, organ of hearing, faculty of hearing, attention |
| Semantic Range | the physical ear; the capacity to hear; attentive listening; receptivity to a message or command |
| Conceptual Significance | In biblical usage, the "ear" often signifies not only physical hearing but responsive obedience and spiritual receptivity. To have an "ear" is to be capable of perceiving and responding to divine revelation. |
| Morphological Notes | Noun, accusative case, neuter gender, singular number (Gr,N,,,,,ANS,); functioning as a direct object in the clause. |
| Rendering Rationale | The lemma οὖς denotes the physical ear and by extension the faculty of hearing. The morphology (accusative, neuter, singular) indicates a single ear functioning as the direct object of a verb, so the rendering "the ear" preserves both the concrete root meaning and its grammatical role. |
