your spoken-words

Rootמלל (m-l-l)
Core Meaningsto speak, utter, articulate, declare
Semantic Rangewords, utterances, speech, discourse, matter, saying, topic, statement
Conceptual SignificanceIn biblical thought, "words" are not mere sounds but carry authority, intent, and moral weight. One’s "spoken-words" reveal character and covenantal faithfulness, and divine words in particular embody power and creative force.
Morphological NotesCommon feminine plural noun in construct form (מִלֵּי) with second masculine singular pronominal suffix (ךָ): "words of you" → "your words."
Rendering RationaleThe noun מִלָּה derives from the root מלל, "to speak" or "utter." Rendering it as "spoken-words" preserves the verbal sense embedded in the noun, highlighting speech as expressed utterance. The suffix marks second masculine singular possession, hence "your."
