'And I have chosen you' means for prophethood. 'So listen' means pay attention, giving your hearing and engaging your heart for listening. 'To what' means I have chosen you for that which, and 'listen' is mentioned first due to its importance. 'It is revealed' means it is said to you from Me, a secret concealed from others, even if it is in the utmost clarity, just as a beloved does with his beloved by keeping their conversation from a third party, which indicates the high status and greatness of the matter.
