in the spoken-matters

Rootדבר (d-b-r)
Core Meaningsto speak, to declare, to arrange, speech, matter, event
Semantic Rangewords, sayings, matters, events, affairs, commands, reports, decrees, things (spoken of), accounts
Conceptual Significanceדָּבָר unites speech and reality in biblical thought: a “word” is not mere sound but an enacted matter or event. In Scripture, spoken words—especially divine words—carry performative force, shaping covenant, history, and lived experience.
Morphological NotesPreposition ב with definite article (בַּ־) + noun masculine common plural absolute (דְּבָרִים) from דָּבָר; no pronominal suffix; definite by article.
Rendering RationaleThe noun דְּבָרִים is masculine plural absolute from דָּבָר, derived from the root דבר (“to speak”). The prefixed בַּ־ combines the preposition ב (“in”) with the definite article (“the”), yielding “in the.” Rendering it “spoken-matters” preserves the root connection to speech while reflecting the masculine plural form.
