my spoken-word

Rootדבר (d-b-r)
Core Meaningsspeech, speaking, word, matter, event, account
Semantic Rangeword, speech, statement, matter, affair, event, command, promise, report, decree, thing (especially as spoken of)
Conceptual SignificanceIn biblical thought, a דָּבָר is not merely a sound but an effective spoken reality—what is spoken can establish covenant, command action, or bring about events. "My spoken-word" can thus carry authority, intention, and consequential force within the covenantal and prophetic context.
Morphological NotesNoun, common masculine singular construct (דְבָרִי) with 1cs pronominal suffix; literally "word-of-me." The construct form links the noun directly to the attached suffix.
Rendering RationaleThe noun דָּבָר derives from the root דבר, "to speak," and denotes a word, matter, or spoken event. The form is masculine singular construct with a first common singular suffix ("my"), so "my spoken-word" preserves both the singular sense and the possessive relationship while keeping the root connection to speech.
