your spoken-words

Rootדבר (d-b-r)
Core Meaningsspeech, speaking, word, matter, event, affair
Semantic Rangewords, statements, sayings, commands, promises, matters, events, affairs, reasons, reports
Conceptual SignificanceIn biblical thought, a דָּבָר is not merely speech but an active word-event—what is spoken often carries authority and effect. "Your spoken-words" can denote personal speech, covenantal commands, or decisive matters that shape reality and relationship.
Morphological NotesCommon masculine plural noun in construct form (דְּבָרֵי) + 2ms pronominal suffix (ךָ), yielding "your (ms) words."
Rendering RationaleThe noun דְּבָרֶיךָ is masculine plural construct from דָּבָר ("word, matter") with a 2nd masculine singular suffix, meaning "your." Rendering it "your spoken-words" preserves the root idea of speech (d-b-r) while clearly reflecting the masculine plural form and the singular masculine addressee.
