to the blast of a trumpet and a sound of words which made those who heard (akousantes | ἀκούσαντες | aor act ptcp nom pl masc) it beg that no further message be given to them,
God again ordains a certain day — “today” — saying through David, after so long a time, just as it has been said before, “Today, if you (akousēte | ἀκούσητε | aor act subj 2 pl) hear (akousēte | ἀκούσητε | aor act subj 2 pl) his voice, do not harden your hearts.”
For we also had good news proclaimed to us just as they did; but the word they heard did not benefit those who were not united with those who (akousasin | ἀκούσασιν | aor act ptcp dat pl masc) listened (akousasin | ἀκούσασιν | aor act ptcp dat pl masc) in faith
For who were they who heard (akousantes | ἀκούσαντες | aor act ptcp nom pl masc) and rebelled? Were they not really all those who came out of Egypt led by Moses?
As it is said, “Today, if you (akousēte | ἀκούσητε | aor act subj 2 pl) hear (akousēte | ἀκούσητε | aor act subj 2 pl) his voice, do not harden your hearts as you did in the rebellion.”
how will we escape if we neglect such a great salvation? Which at first was declared by the Lord, and it was attested to us by those who heard (akousantōn | ἀκουσάντων | aor act ptcp gen pl masc),
Therefore we must pay much closer attention to what we have heard (akoustheisin | ἀκουσθεῖσιν | aor pass ptcp dat pl neut), lest we drift away from it.
