Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Diminutive form of οὖς (ous), meaning "ear."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • Strong's Hebrew 241: אֹזֶן (ozen) • This Hebrew term is the equivalent of the Greek ὠτίον, referring to the ear. It is used throughout the Old Testament to denote both the physical ear and the concept of hearing or listening, often in the context of obedience to God's commandments. Usage: The word ὠτίον appears in the New Testament in contexts where listening or hearing is emphasized. It is used to describe the physical ear but can also imply the act of paying attention or being receptive to spoken words. Context: The Greek term ὠτίον, a diminutive of οὖς, is used in the New Testament to emphasize the importance of hearing and understanding the word of God. In the cultural context of the Bible, the ear is not only a physical organ but also a symbol of obedience and receptivity to divine instruction. The use of ὠτίον highlights the necessity for believers to be attentive to the teachings of Jesus and the apostles. This term underscores the spiritual discipline of listening, which is crucial for faith and obedience. In the Berean Standard Bible, the emphasis on hearing is often linked to the call for discernment and the readiness to act upon what is heard. The ear, therefore, becomes a metaphor for the heart's openness to God's voice.
