Hi Thinker,

The word is an archaic/oldfashioned verb for listen and would have been used in the first English translation of the Bible in 1611.

Meaning of hearken #4 (permalink) Wed Nov 04, 2009 16:44 pm   Meaning of hearken
 

Hi Thinker,

The meaning of the word listen is to hear.

The meaning of the word hearken is to hear with a view to obeying, to hear and do, to hear and obey.
