Ear

Ozen - Ear (אוזן) Our Hebrew translators often try to 'fix' the text for us to understand it better in English. However, the original Hebrew is often more interesting, such as in Numbers 11:1 which should read "the people were murmuring and it was bad in the ear of the Lord" rather than He was "displeased." Remember also that the Hebrew word for balance is 'mozen', so maybe our forebears knew the ear helps our sense of balance!
