"Master YHWH" and "I AM"s in the Peshitta
#41
Idiom: 'in the ears of X': X heard
news reaches 'the ears of Y': Y heard the news

In the narration in Acts 11, there is a Semiticism in observing that a "report? reached the ears of the assembly":

Acts 11:22 (DARBY)
<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=acts+11%3A22&version=KJV;DARBY;HCSB;NIV">https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?s ... Y;HCSB;NIV</a><!-- m -->
And the report concerning them reached the ears of the assembly which was in Jerusalem, and they sent out Barnabas to go through as far as Antioch:

Another such Semiticism appears in the book of James:

James 5:4 (KJV)

Behold, the hire of the labourers who have reaped down your fields,
which is of you kept back by fraud, crieth:
and the cries of them which have reaped
are entered into the ears of the Lord of sabaoth.

Matthew quotes a remark that contains the Semiticism:

Matthew 28:14
<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="https://www.biblegateway.com/quicksearch/?quicksearch=ears+him&qs_version=KJV">https://www.biblegateway.com/quicksearc ... ersion=KJV</a><!-- m -->
And if this come to the governor's ears,
we will persuade him, and secure you.

Somewhat along the same lines, 1 Peter mentions that the Lord hears the prayers of the righteous:

1 Peter 3:12, partly quoting Psalm 34:15
<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="https://www.biblegateway.com/quicksearch/?quicksearch=ears+lord&qs_version=KJV&limit=500">https://www.biblegateway.com/quicksearc ... &limit=500</a><!-- m -->
For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous,
and his ears are open unto their prayers:
but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil.

Below are a few of such Semiticisms that appear in the OT.
