and speaking
| Morphological Notes | Qal active participle, masculine singular absolute, with prefixed conjunction וְ ("and"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal active participle masculine singular of דבר denotes one who is in the act of speaking or communicating. The prefixed conjunction וְ adds "and," so the form is best rendered as a participial phrase preserving its ongoing verbal-adjectival sense. |
