and speak
To speak, communicate, or express something verbally; to relate, report, or declare. The verb דָּבַר (dābar) primarily indicates the act of speaking or communicating, emphasizing the content and purpose of what is said, often in formal, deliberate, or consequential contexts. It can also, in less common usages, bear the sense of 'to lead,' 'to arrange,' or 'to deal with' and, very rarely, 'to destroy' or 'to subdue,' likely as an extended or specialized sense.

let her speak
| Morphological Notes | Verb; Piel stem; jussive; 3rd person feminine singular; prefixed conjunction וּ ("and"). |
