uttered matters
| Root | ῥῆμα (rhēma) |
| Core Meanings | utterance, spoken word, saying, matter, declared thing |
| Semantic Range | individual sayings, spoken declarations, prophetic utterances, commands, reported matters, events described in speech, topics under discussion |
| Conceptual Significance | In biblical usage, ῥῆμα often highlights specific spoken utterances—whether divine declarations, prophetic words, or authoritative sayings—emphasizing the dynamic, event-like character of speech as something actively brought forth and effectual in history. |
| Morphological Notes | Noun, neuter plural; appears in nominative neuter plural (NNP) and accusative neuter plural (ANP) forms. As a neuter plural, it can function as subject or direct object depending on context. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering "uttered matters" preserves the root sense of ῥῆμα as something spoken or expressed, derived from ῥέω (to flow), emphasizing speech as that which flows forth. The plural form reflects the neuter plural (nominative or accusative) morphology, indicating multiple spoken items or declared things rather than a singular abstract concept. |
