Deuteronomy 13:12

Deuteronomy 13:12 -

Hear in one of thy cities. The Hebrew phrase, "to hear in" ( שָׁמַע בְּ ). has sometimes the meaning of to overhear, as in Genesis 27:5 ; 1 Samuel 17:28 ; Job 15:8 ; sometimes it means simply to hear, as in 2 Samuel 19:36 (35) ; in Job 26:14 , it has the force of to hear of or concerning, though some think this questionable. This latter is apparently the meaning here: If thou hear concerning any of thy cities , etc. Baying. This introduces what is heard.
