your spoken matters

Rootדבר (d-b-r)
Core Meaningsspeech, speaking, word, matter, affair
Semantic Rangewords, statements, sayings, matters, affairs, events, reports, commands, promises
Conceptual Significanceדָּבָר in Scripture unites speech and reality—what is spoken often becomes an enacted matter. "Your spoken matters" can therefore denote not only speech but intentions, commitments, or deeds, reflecting the Hebrew view that words carry substance and consequence.
Morphological NotesMasculine plural noun in construct state (דִּבְרֵי) + 2nd person masculine plural pronominal suffix (-כֶם), literally "words of you (mp)."
Rendering RationaleThe noun דִּבְרֵי is the masculine plural construct form of דָּבָר ("word, matter") from the root דבר ("to speak"). With the 2nd person masculine plural suffix, it means "the spoken matters of you (pl.)"—hence "your spoken matters," preserving both the speech-based root sense and the plural possession.
