Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G3775 (ous): Refers to the ear, used in the New Testament in similar contexts of hearing and understanding.

Usage: The Hebrew word "ozen" primarily refers to the physical organ of hearing, the ear. It is used in the Bible to denote not only the literal ear but also the act of listening or understanding. The term can imply obedience, as hearing is often associated with heeding or following instructions.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the ear was symbolically significant as it represented the gateway to understanding and obedience. Listening was a crucial aspect of learning and following God's commandments. The ear was also involved in certain rituals, such as the piercing of a servant's ear to signify lifelong servitude (Exodus 21:6). This act symbolized a willing and obedient heart.
