Dewarim 27:9 Kabbala: Zohar

וַיְדַבֵּ֤ר מֹשֶׁה֙ וְהַכֹּהֲנִ֣ים הַלְוִיִּ֔ם אֶ֥ל כָּל־יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל לֵאמֹ֑ר הַסְכֵּ֤ת ׀ וּשְׁמַע֙ יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל הַיּ֤וֹם הַזֶּה֙ נִהְיֵ֣יתָֽ לְעָ֔ם לַיהוָ֖ה אֱלֹהֶֽיךָ׃

Und Mose und die Priester, die Leviten, sprachen zu ganz Israel und sprachen: 'Schweige und höre, Israel! Heute bist du ein Volk für den HERRN, deinen Gott.

Zohar

The Jewish man opened with the verse, "Hear my prayer, Hashem, and give ear to my cry; keep not silence at my tears" (Tehilim 39:13). Why is it written "hear" (Heb. שִׁמְעָה) and not 'שְׁמַע'? Why is it written in one place, "Hear (Heb. שְׁמַע), Hashem, and be gracious to me" (Tehilim 30:11), and in another place, 'שִׁמְעָה'? The reason is that it is written now Shma refering to the male, and now Shim'ah refering to the female. For example, shim'ah is used in "Hear the right, Hashem" (Tehilim 17:1), where the right (Heb. צֶדֶק) is the secret of the Nukva of Zeir Anpin. Sh'ma is used in "Hear (Heb. sh'ma) Hashem, and be gracious to me". The masculine is also used in "Hear, Hashem" , "my son, hear (Heb. sh'ma) the instructions" (Mishlei 1:8) and "Take heed, and hearken (Heb. sh'ma)" (Devarim 27:9).
