| Conceptual Significance | דָּבָר is a central biblical term linking speech and reality—what is spoken becomes an enacted matter. It is used for human words, royal decrees, legal matters, and especially the revealed word of יהוה, highlighting the dynamic power and authority of divine speech in Israel’s faith. |
| Morphological Notes | Common masculine singular noun in construct state from דָּבָר (dâbâr). The reduced vowel reflects construct formation, binding it syntactically to a following genitive. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun דְּבַר is masculine singular in the construct state (HNcmsc), indicating "word of…" in a bound relationship with a following noun. Rendering it as "word-of" preserves both its root sense of spoken matter (from דבר, "to speak") and its grammatical construct form, which requires completion by what follows. |
