It often implies a deeper understanding or explanation of why something occurs. In the context of the Hebrew Bible, it can refer to the underlying purpose or rationale that is not immediately apparent.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Hebrew culture, understanding the "dibrah" or reason behind events was crucial for interpreting God's will and actions. The Israelites often sought to comprehend the divine purpose in their history, laws, and personal lives. This pursuit of understanding was not merely intellectual but was deeply spiritual, as it related to their covenant relationship with God.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>(Aramaic) corresponding to <a href="/hebrew/1700.htm">dibrah</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a cause, reason<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>order* (1), purpose (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>intent, sake <p>(Aramaic) corresponding to <a href="/hebrew/1700.htm">dibrah</a> -- intent, sake. <p>see HEBREW <a href="/hebrew/1700.htm">dibrah</a> <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>דִּבְרַ֡ת דִּבְרַת֙ דברת divRat<div class="vheading2">Links</div><a href="/interlinear/matthew/1-1.htm">Interlinear Greek</a> • <a href="/interlinear/genesis/1-1.htm">Interlinear Hebrew</a> • <a href="/strongs.htm">Strong's Numbers</a> • <a href="/englishmans_greek.htm">Englishman's Greek Concordance</a> • <a href="/englishmans_hebrew.htm">Englishman's Hebrew Concordance</a> • <a href="/texts/matthew/1-1.htm">Parallel Texts</a></div></div><div id="centbox"><div class="padcent"><div class="vheading">Englishman's Concordance</div><b><a href="/text/daniel/2-30.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Daniel 2:30</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/daniel/2.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3">לָהֵ֗ן עַל־ <b> דִּבְרַת֙ </b> דִּ֤י פִשְׁרָא֙</span><br><a href="http://biblehub.com/nas/daniel/2.htm" title="New American Standard Bible">NAS:</a> [other] living man, <span class="itali">but for the purpose</span> of making<br><a href="/kjvs/daniel/2.htm" title="King James Bible with Strong's">KJV:</a> but <span class="itali">for [their] sakes</span> that<br><a href="/interlinear/daniel/2-30.htm" title="Biblos Interlinear Bible">INT:</a> but that <span class="itali">the purpose</span> forasmuch the interpretation<p><b><a href="/text/daniel/4-17.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Daniel 4:17</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/daniel/4.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3">שְׁאֵֽלְתָ֑א עַד־ <b> דִּבְרַ֡ת </b> דִּ֣י יִנְדְּע֣וּן</span><br><a href="/kjvs/daniel/4.htm" title="King James Bible with Strong's">KJV:</a> to <span class="itali">the intent</span> that the living<br><a href="/interlinear/daniel/4-17.htm" title="Biblos Interlinear Bible">INT:</a> and the decision to <span class="itali">the intent</span> forasmuch may know<p><i><a href="/hebrew/strongs_1701.htm">2 Occurrences</a></i><br /><br /><b><a href="/hebrew/strongs_1701.htm">Strong's Hebrew 1701<br>2 Occurrences</a></b><br><br><a href="/hebrew/divrat_1701.htm">diḇ·raṯ — 2 Occ.</a><br></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="mdd"><div align="center"><div class="bot2"><table align="center" width="100%"><tr><td><div align="center"> <script id="3d27ed63fc4348d5b062c4527ae09445"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=51ce25d5-1a8c-424a-8695-4bd48c750f35&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script> <script id="b817b7107f1d4a7997da1b3c33457e03"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=cb0edd8b-b416-47eb-8c6d-3cc96561f7e8&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-2'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-0' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-3'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-1' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div align="center" id='div-gpt-ad-1531425649696-0'> </div><br /><br /> <ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:inline-block;width:200px;height:200px" data-ad-client="ca-pub-3753401421161123" data-ad-slot="3592799687"></ins> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script><br /><br /> </div> <div id="left"><a href="/hebrew/1700.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="1700"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="1700" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/hebrew/1702.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="1702"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="1702" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhchap.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
