his spoken-words

Morphological NotesCommon masculine plural noun in construct form (דְּבָרֵי/דְּבָרָיו pattern) with 3ms pronominal suffix; literally “words of him.” The construct form binds the plural noun to the attached suffix.
Rendering RationaleThe noun דָּבָר derives from the root דבר (“to speak”) and denotes that which is spoken—words, matters, or declarations. The form is masculine plural construct with a 3rd masculine singular suffix, so “his spoken-words” preserves both the plural sense and the possessive “his,” while highlighting the root connection to speech.
