Ministry on This Verse

 The one associated with Reuben (vs. 12), is Simeon, “hearing;” and that would make us think of the Lord as the One prepared to be a Listener, and to do the will of God. He says in Psalm 40, “Mine ears hast thou digged.” That is only true of Him. The Holy Ghost knows the meaning of it, and translates it for us: “A body hast Thou prepared Me.” Then, if we turn to Isaiah 1, the Speaker says, “I clothe the heavens with blackness,” a divine Person, God Himself, the Great Creator. Then “Adonai Jehovah hath given Me the tongue of the learned... He wakeneth morning by morning, He wakeneth Mine ears to hear as the learned.” {Isa. 50:4} There was never such a good Listener as our Lord. See a Son! and always the first voice He heard in the morning was His Father’s voice.” He wakeneth Mine ear to hear as the learned,” as One who had been taught. (Chapter 2. by J.A. Taylor, of Worthing)
