'Hearken' in the Bible

and God saith unto Abraham, 'Let it not be wrong in thine eyes because of the youth, and because of thy handmaid: all that Sarah saith unto thee -- hearken to her voice, for in Isaac is a seed called to thee.

'And now, my son, hearken to my voice, to that which I am commanding thee:

and his mother saith to him, 'On me thy disesteem, my son; only hearken to my voice, and go, take for me.'

and now, my son, hearken to my voice, and rise, flee for thyself unto Laban my brother, to Haran,

and if ye hearken not unto us to be circumcised, then we have taken our daughter, and have gone.'

And unto Hamor, and unto Shechem his son, hearken do all those going out of the gate of his city, and every male is circumcised, all those going out of the gate of his city.

Come, and we sell him to the Ishmaelites, and our hands are not on him, for he is our brother -- our flesh;' and his brethren hearken.

And they say one unto another, 'Verily we are guilty concerning our brother, because we saw the distress of his soul, in his making supplication unto us, and we did not hearken: therefore hath this distress come upon us.'

'Be assembled, and hear, sons of Jacob, And hearken unto Israel your father.
