his spoken-words

Rootדבר (d-b-r)
Core Meaningsto speak, to declare, to communicate, speech, matter spoken
Semantic Rangewords, sayings, statements, declarations, matters, events, decrees, commands, reports, affairs
Conceptual SignificanceIn the Hebrew Bible, a דָּבָר is not merely speech but an effective utterance—speech that carries intent, authority, and often action. Whether human or divine, “his spoken-words” can denote authoritative instruction, covenantal promise, historical record, or decisive decree.
Morphological NotesCommon masculine plural noun in construct form (דְּבָרֵי/דְּבָרָיו pattern) with 3ms pronominal suffix; literally “words of him.” The construct form binds the plural noun to the attached suffix.
Rendering RationaleThe noun דָּבָר derives from the root דבר (“to speak”) and denotes that which is spoken—words, matters, or declarations. The form is masculine plural construct with a 3rd masculine singular suffix, so “his spoken-words” preserves both the plural sense and the possessive “his,” while highlighting the root connection to speech.
