| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular common noun in construct state with 3rd person masculine singular pronominal suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun דָּבָר derives from the root "to speak, declare" and denotes something spoken that can extend to any matter or affair. The construct singular with 3ms suffix is preserved by rendering it as "his spoken-matter," explicitly marking possession. |
