Exegesis
The conjunction kai {Καὶ | Kaí} links this vision to the previous announcement, while the aorist indicative ēkousa {ἤκουσα | ḗ-kou-sa} frames John’s act of hearing as a completed, authoritative revelation.
In context — Revelation 18:4
Then I heard another voice from heaven say, “Depart from her, My people, so that you do not partake in her sins , and so that you do not receive any of her plagues.”
