For the Hebrews the lev was less the seat of feelings than the center of thinking and deciding — closer to what we mean by “mind” and “will.” It is where plans are made and character resides.

God’s great concern is the heart: he gives a “new heart,” asks for love “with all your heart,” and tests the heart. Israel’s creed begins, “these words… shall be on your heart” — true faith is heart-deep, not surface-level.
