What Does Shema Mean?

Shema is a very interesting word. It’s commonly thought to mean “obey,” but that’s not the whole story. There’s no Hebrew word for “obey,” and there’s no English equivalent for shema. It’s far richer than that, so it’s good to see how the writers of Scripture use it. The name Simon is related, coming from the Hebrew Shim’on. Video, 3:25.
