Exegesis
The aorist imperative akousatōsan {ἀκουσάτωσαν | a-kou-sá-tō-san} issues a third-person command ‘let them hear,’ with the genitive autōn {αὐτῶν | au-tṓn} functioning as a genitive of reference (‘from them’), naturally rendered in English as a direct object ‘them’ to convey responsive obedience. This structure underscores the sufficiency of Scripture and the authoritative obligation to heed it.
