your spoken word

Rootדבר (d-b-r)
Core Meaningsspeech, speaking, word, matter, expressed thing
Semantic Rangeword, speech, message, matter, affair, command, promise, report, event, thing spoken of
Conceptual Significanceדָּבָר underscores the power and authority of spoken utterance in the Hebrew Bible—especially when referring to the word of a king, prophet, or of יהוה, whose spoken word brings about action, covenant, and creation itself.
Morphological NotesCommon masculine singular noun in construct form (דְבַר־) with 2nd masculine singular pronominal suffix (־ךָ), meaning "of you" (ms).
Rendering RationaleThe noun דָּבָר derives from the root דבר, "to speak," and denotes that which is spoken—whether a word, message, or matter. The construct form with a 2nd masculine singular suffix ("your") yields "your spoken word," preserving both the speech-root sense and the masculine singular possession indicated in the morphology.
