"The English word “listen” only appears once in the King James Bible in Isaiah 49:1. But the Hebrew word from which it is translated, shama, occurs 1072 times in the Old Testament. A similar word is the Hebrew word, qashab, which occurs 45 times in the Old Testament. So over 1,117 times hearing or listening is mentioned in the Old Testament. In the New Testament the Greek word akouo, which means to hear or understand, is used 402 times. So over 1500 times in this book, the idea of hearing or listening is mentioned. That’s a lot!"
