he has declared it
| Root | דבר (d-b-r) |
| Core Meanings | arranging, ordering, speaking, declaring, communicating |
| Semantic Range | to speak, declare, command, proclaim, converse, promise, pronounce, recount; in rare contexts, to subdue or arrange |
| Conceptual Significance | דבר in the Piel often conveys authoritative or formal speech—divine proclamation, covenantal command, or prophetic utterance. Speech in the biblical worldview is performative and ordering, reflecting the power of spoken word to establish reality and covenant relationship. |
| Morphological Notes | Piel perfect 3ms of דבר with 3ms pronominal suffix ("-וֹ"), yielding "he has spoken/declared it." The doubling dagesh reflects the Piel stem’s intensive pattern. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form is Piel perfect 3rd masculine singular with a 3rd masculine singular pronominal suffix, indicating completed action by "he" directed toward "him/it." The Piel stem intensifies or makes declarative the action of the root דבר, so "he has declared it" preserves both the intensive speaking nuance and the masculine singular object. |
