heart
heart Frequently used in both OT and NT, but rarely in the physiological sense, since the Hebrews were unaware of its function; but its importance was recognized, and so it acquired a metaphorical sense for what is dearest and best—a ‘clean heart’ (Ps. 51: 10; Ezek. 36: 26). The heart was also regarded as the seat of emotions (1 Kgs. 8: 38), of memory (1 Kgs. 4: 29), and of
wisdom (NRSV prefers ‘mind’ instead of ‘heart’: 1 Kgs. 3: 12), and the new
covenant will be written in the hearts of the people (Jer. 31: 31–4).
Similarly in the NT, Jesus is ‘gentle and humble in heart’ (Matt. 11: 29). The ‘pure in heart’ (Matt. 5: 8) are those without an accusing conscience; for ‘God searches the heart’ (Rom. 8: 27) and being ‘cut to the heart’ is the prelude to conversion (Acts 2: 37). In Paul's analysis of human nature the heart is neutral: it may be
evil (Rom. 1: 21), but it may also be good (2 Cor. 1: 22).
