Pronounced: The Hebrew word for heart, Lev (לֵב), is pronounced simply as “lehv” rhyming with rev or bev.

Definition: The Hebrew word Lev (לֵב) translates directly to “heart”. In biblical and modern Hebrew, it also represents the inner person, mind, or center of things. The physical or emotional seat of feelings, love, and desire.  The place of thought, decision-making, and conscience.

Theological Significance: In Scripture, the Lev is the command center of a person — the place where obedience, devotion, and transformation begin. God works from the inside out, reshaping the heart so the whole life follows.
