Rootדבר (d-b-r)
Core Meaningsto speak, declare, communicate, order
Semantic Rangeword, speech, statement, matter, affair, event, decree, command, message, report, reason
Conceptual Significanceדָּבָר links speech with reality—what is spoken becomes a matter or event. In biblical theology, especially when used of YHWH, "words" carry performative power, conveying revelation, covenantal instruction, and effective action.
Morphological NotesHebrew noun common masculine plural construct (דְּבָרֵי/דְּבָרַי) with 1cs pronominal suffix; from דָּבָר (H1697). The construct form binds the noun to the suffix, indicating possession ("of me").
Rendering RationaleThe noun דְּבָרָי is masculine plural construct from דָּבָר ("word, matter") with a 1st person common singular suffix, literally "words of me." Rendering it as "my words" preserves the plural form and the possessive suffix while retaining the root sense of spoken or declared matters.
