the spoken-word

Rootדבר (d-b-r)
Core Meaningsto speak, to declare, to communicate, speech, utterance
Semantic Rangeword, speech, statement, matter, affair, thing, event, decree, command, report, message, reason, cause
Conceptual SignificanceIn the Hebrew Scriptures, דָּבָר often unites speech and reality: a "spoken-word" can denote both an utterance and the event or matter it brings about. It is central to prophetic revelation, covenantal commands, and the creative and effective speech of יהוה, where the spoken word carries active power.
Morphological NotesNoun common masculine singular absolute with prefixed definite article (הַ־). No pronominal suffix; singular and definite.
Rendering RationaleThe noun דָּבָר derives from the root דבר ("to speak") and denotes that which is spoken. Rendering it as "the spoken-word" preserves its connection to speech while reflecting the definite article ("the") and the masculine singular absolute form indicated by the morphology.
