It is both a central declaration of faith in Judaism and a notable biblical figure. The word "Shema" itself means "hear" or "listen" in Hebrew, and it is most famously associated with a passage in Deuteronomy that underscores the monotheistic essence of the faith.<br><br><b>Shema as a Declaration:</b><br>The Shema is a foundational prayer in Judaism, derived from <a href="/deuteronomy/6-4.htm">Deuteronomy 6:4-9</a>, and is recited daily by devout Jews. It begins with the words, "Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is One" (<a href="/deuteronomy/6-4.htm">Deuteronomy 6:4</a>). This declaration affirms the belief in one God and calls for love and devotion to Him with all one's heart, soul, and strength. The Shema is not only a statement of faith but also a call to obedience, as it instructs the faithful to keep God's commandments and to teach them diligently to their children.<br><br><b>Biblical Context:</b><br>The Shema is part of a larger section known as the Shema Yisrael, which includes <a href="/deuteronomy/6-4.htm">Deuteronomy 6:4-9, 11</a>:13-21, and <a href="/numbers/15-37.htm">Numbers 15:37-41</a>. These passages emphasize the importance of loving God, obeying His commandments, and remembering His covenant. The Shema serves as a reminder of God's unique relationship with Israel and His sovereignty over all creation.<br><br><b>Shema as a Biblical Figure:</b><br>In addition to its role as a declaration, "Shema" is also the name of several individuals in the Bible:<br><br>1. <b>Shema, the Reubenite:</b> In <a href="/1_chronicles/5-8.htm">1 Chronicles 5:8</a>, Shema is mentioned as a descendant of Joel, a leader among the Reubenites. This Shema is noted for his lineage and tribal affiliation, which highlights the genealogical records important to the chronicler's historical narrative.<br><br>2. <b>Shema, the Benjamite:</b> Another Shema is found in <a href="/1_chronicles/8-13.htm">1 Chronicles 8:13</a>, where he is listed among the descendants of Benjamin. This Shema is noted for his role in the defense of the city of Aijalon against the Philistines, showcasing the valor and military involvement of the Benjamites.<br><br>3. <b>Shema, the Levite:</b> In <a href="/nehemiah/8-4.htm">Nehemiah 8:4</a>, a Levite named Shema is mentioned as one of those who stood beside Ezra the scribe as he read the Law to the people. This Shema's presence underscores the importance of the Levites in religious instruction and the public reading of Scripture.<br><br><b>Theological Significance:</b><br>The Shema, as a declaration, is central to the understanding of God's nature and His expectations for His people. It encapsulates the essence of monotheism and the call to love and serve God wholeheartedly. The repetition of the Shema in Jewish daily prayers and its influence on Christian theology highlight its enduring significance.<br><br><b>Conclusion:</b><br>The Shema, both as a declaration and as a name, holds a multifaceted role in the biblical narrative. It serves as a profound statement of faith and a reminder of the covenantal relationship between God and His people. The individuals named Shema in the Bible further illustrate the diverse roles and contributions of various tribes and families within Israel's history.<a name="hit" id="hit"></a><div class="vheading2">Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Shema</span><p>hearing; obeying<a name="smi" id="smi"></a><div class="vheading2">Smith's Bible Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Shema</span><p><ol> <li>A Reubenite, ancestor of Bela.
