SIBI-P1 H1696-73
and you shall declare
| Root | דבר (d-b-r) |
| Core Meanings | arrange, order, speak, declare, communicate |
| Semantic Range | to speak, declare, command, pronounce, converse, promise, teach, recount, communicate authoritatively |
| Conceptual Significance | דבר is a central verb for covenantal communication—YHWH speaks, commands, and reveals, and Israel is commanded to speak His words. It underscores the ordered, intentional nature of divine and covenantal speech, highlighting the power of spoken words to instruct, bind, and shape communal faithfulness. |
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וְ + Piel perfect 2ms of דבר (HC/Vpq2ms). The Piel stem gives an intensive or declarative nuance. Though morphologically perfect, with prefixed waw it often carries a future or sequential sense in context. |
| Rendering Rationale | The root דבר carries the sense of arranging or setting words in order, hence speaking or declaring. The Piel stem intensifies this into deliberate or emphatic speech (“declare”). The form is conjunction waw + Piel perfect 2nd masculine singular, commonly functioning as a sequential future, hence “and you shall declare,” addressing a single male individual. |
