Usage: The verb קָשַׁב is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe the act of listening attentively or giving heed to something. It often implies an active and intentional listening, where one is not merely hearing but is also prepared to respond or act upon what is heard. Context: • The Hebrew verb קָשַׁב appears in various contexts throughout the Old Testament, often in relation to God or His commands. It is used to describe the attentive listening that God expects from His people, as well as the attentive listening that God Himself provides to the prayers and cries of His people. • In the Psalms, קָשַׁב is frequently used in prayers where the psalmist asks God to listen attentively to their pleas. For example, in Psalm 5:2 (BSB), "Attend to the sound of my cry, my King and my God, for to You I pray." • The term is also used in prophetic literature, where the prophets call upon the people to listen attentively to the words of the Lord. In Isaiah 28:23 (BSB), it is written, "Listen and hear my voice; pay attention and hear what I say." • The concept of קָשַׁב underscores the importance of not just hearing but truly listening with the intent to understand and obey. It is a call to be receptive to divine instruction and guidance.
