It implies a focused listening or attentiveness, often in the context of paying attention to God's word or commands. It is used to describe the act of listening with the intent to understand and obey.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Hebrew culture, listening was not merely a passive activity but an active engagement with the speaker, often implying obedience and response. The concept of "qesheb" is deeply rooted in the covenant relationship between God and His people, where listening to God's voice was paramount for maintaining the covenantal blessings and guidance.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/7181.htm">qashab</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>attentiveness<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>close (1), close attention (1), paid attention (1), response (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">קֶ֫שֶׁב</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun masculine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>attentiveness</b></font>;
