according to the words

Rootדבר (d-b-r)
Core Meaningsspeech, word, utterance, matter, event, enacted word
Semantic Rangewords, statements, matters, events, decrees, commands, affairs, accounts, spoken declarations
Conceptual Significanceדָּבָר in the Hebrew Bible often denotes not merely speech but speech that carries effect—an enacted word or decisive matter. Thus "according to the words" can imply alignment with authoritative declarations, covenantal stipulations, or divinely spoken commands, underscoring the power of spoken word as reality-shaping in Israelite thought.
Morphological NotesPreposition כ ("as, according to") prefixed to a masculine plural absolute noun דְּבָרִים from דָּבָר (root דבר). No pronominal suffix; number is masculine plural.
Rendering RationaleThe noun דְּבָרִים is masculine plural absolute from דָּבָר (“word, matter”) and is prefixed with the preposition כ (“as, according to”). The rendering "according to the words" preserves the plural masculine form and reflects the comparative sense of the prefixed כ while maintaining the root connection to spoken or declared words.
