tingle (of ears); quiver, tremble (of lips); chirp, whisper (of spirits)
An onomatopoetic verb describing various kinds of vibrating or resonating sounds and sensations. When applied to ears, it means to tingle or ring at horrifying news (1 Sam 3:11; 2 Kgs 21:12; Jer 19:3). When applied to lips, it describes quivering in terror (Hab 3:16). The root suggests a rapid vibrating or quivering motion, capturing the physical response to shock or fear. The sound itself is sharp, quick, and unsettling.
Senses
1. sense 1 — First Samuel 3:11, 2 Kings 21:12, and Jeremiah 19:3 all use the phrase 'both ears of everyone who hears it will tingle'—a vivid image of shocking news causing the ears to ring or buzz. Habakkuk 3:16 describes the prophet's physical response to God's theophany: 'my lips quivered' (צָֽלְלוּ). Spanish retumbarán/zumbarán (will ring, buzz) and French sonner (ring, sound) capture the sharp, resonating quality of this sensory experience. 4×
