In the King James version
the word - listen - appears once in the whole Bible.
Isa 49:1 Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name.
Another answer:The fact that the word "listen" appears only once in the KJV is somewhat misleading. In a modern English translation such as the NIV, it appears at least once in 44 of The Bible's 66 books for a total of 332 times. (The King James most often uses the antiquated expression "hearken unto" instead of "listen.")Chat with our AI personalities
