VERSE: Gn41-15a

RULE: The Hebrew root Sh-M-A can have 4 meanings depending
on the connective word used with it.


EXAMPLES:
---------
(1) Sh-M-A+ "TO" means to be SYMPATHETIC or EMPHATHIC
    -------------------------------------------------
(1a) Gn16-11 "God SYMPATHIZES with your suffering
(1b) Gn21-17 "God SYMPATHIZES with the lad"


(2) Sh-M-A + "IN" means to ACCEPT
    -----------------------------
(2a) Dt01-45 God didn't ACCEPT your complaints
(2b) Gn30-06 God ACCEPTED my suffering


(3) Sh-M-A + "THAT" means to listen to a WHOLE STORY
    ------------------------------------------------
(3a) Gn34-05 Found out the STORY of Dinah's rape
(3b) Gn29-33 Found out the STORY of Leah being hated


(4) Sh-M-A by itself means to HEAR WITH UNDERSTANDING
    -------------------------------------------------

(4a) Nu30-05 "..he HEARD/UNDERSTOOD her oatha


NOTES
-----
*1 Hence Gn41-40a should be translated as
        "You can UNDERSTAND a dream well enough to interpret it"
The emphasis is on UNDERSTANDING not on just plain LISTENING.
