Exegesis
The verse begins with the coordinating conjunction kai linking to the prior vision, immediately followed by the aorist verb ekousa {ἤκουσα | ḗ-kou-sa} “I heard,” establishing the seer’s direct auditory perception.
The construction kai he phone hen ekousa {καὶ ἡ φωνὴ ἣν ἤκουσα | kaí hē phō-nḗ hēn ḗ-kou-sa} restates the auditory subject, heightening focus on its qualities.
In context — Revelation 14:2
And I heard a sound issuing from heaven, like surging waters and like mighty thunder; and the sound I heard was like harpists plucking their harps.
