Ear
   used frequently in a figurative sense (Ps. 34:15). To "uncover
   the ear" is to show respect to a person (1 Sam. 20:2 marg.). To
   have the "ear heavy", or to have "uncircumcised ears" (Isa.
   6:10), is to be inattentive and disobedient. To have the ear
   "bored" through with an awl was a sign of perpetual servitude
   (Ex. 21:6).
