Strong's Lexicon azen: Ear Original Word: אָזֵן Word Origin: Derived from the root אָזַן (azan), meaning "to weigh" or "to balance," which is metaphorically extended to mean "to listen" or "to give ear." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G3775 (ous): The Greek equivalent for "ear," used in the New Testament to convey similar meanings of hearing and understanding. Usage: The Hebrew word "azen" primarily refers to the physical organ of hearing, the ear. It is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote the act of listening or giving attention, often in the context of obedience or understanding. The ear is seen as the gateway to knowledge and wisdom, as it is through hearing that one receives instruction and guidance. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the ear was symbolically significant as it represented one's willingness to listen and obey. The act of piercing the ear, as seen in Exodus 21:6, was a sign of servitude and commitment. Listening was highly valued in a society where oral tradition was the primary means of communication and transmission of knowledge.
