ô´di -ens : Translated from the Hebrew אזן , 'ōzen , "ear." In Genesis 23:10 f "in the audience of" is equal to "in the presence of," or "while they listened." Compare Exodus 24:7; 1 Samuel 25:24 (Revised Version (British and American) "in thine ears"); 1 Chronicles 28:8; Nehemiah 13:1 . In the New Testament the expression "to give audience" (Acts 22:22; Acts 13:16 , the Revised Version (British and American) "hearken"; Acts 15:12 , the Revised Version (British and American) "they hearkened") translated from the Greek ἀκούω , akoúō "to hear" or derivatives, and means "to listen," "to pay attention." In the King James Version Luke 7:1 (Revised Version, "in the ears of") and the King James Version Luke 20:45 (Revised Version, "in the hearing of") the usage is similar to that of the Old Testament.
