שִׁמְעֵ֣ת

shᵉmaʻ
have heard
To hear, listen, or pay attention to; specifically, to perceive sounds or speech and, often by implication, to heed or respond. In some contexts, connotes obedience or compliance to what has been heard, especially in legal, royal, or cultic settings. Carries nuances of active engagement and receptivity, not mere physical hearing.
