Exegesis
The finite verb eisphereis {εἰσφέρεις | eisphéreis} ‘you bring in’ governs the first clause, with the prepositional phrase eis tas akoas hēmōn {εἰς τὰς ἀκοὰς ἡμῶν | eis tàs akoàs hēmōn} literally ‘into our ears’, an idiomatic expression for conveying information to someone’s hearing.
In context — Acts 17:20
For you are bringing certain strange things to our ears ; therefore we wish to know what these things mean .
