It often refers to a spoken word or a matter of discussion, emphasizing the importance or significance of what is being communicated. In the context of the Hebrew Bible, it can also imply a reason or cause behind an action or event.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Hebrew culture, words held significant power and were seen as a reflection of one's character and intentions. The spoken word was binding and carried weight in legal, social, and religious contexts. The concept of "dibrah" underscores the importance of communication and the responsibility that comes with it. In a society where oral tradition was paramount, the spoken word was a primary means of conveying laws, stories, and divine commandments.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/1696.htm">dabar</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a cause, reason, manner<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>cause (1), concerning* (1), order (1), so* (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">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> [<font class="hebrew2">דִּבְרָה</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun feminine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>cause, reason, manner</b></font> — construct <font class="hebrew2">עַל דִּבִרַת</font> <em>because of, for the sake of</em> <a href="/interlinear/ecclesiastes/3-18.htm">Ecclesiastes 3:18</a>; <a href="/interlinear/ecclesiastes/7-14.htm">Ecclesiastes 7:14</a>; <a href="/interlinear/ecclesiastes/8-2.htm">Ecclesiastes 8:2</a>; <font class="hebrew2">עַלדִּֿבְרָתִי מַלְכִּיצֶֿדֶק</font> <em>after the order, or manner, of Melchizedek</em> <a href="/interlinear/psalms/110-4.htm">Psalm 110:4</a> (<font class="hebrew2">י</font> ancient Genitive ending, to soften transition in poetry, Ges<sup>§ 90</sup> (3) a); suffix <font class="hebrew2">דִּבְרָתִי</font> <em>my cause, suit</em> <a href="/interlinear/job/5-8.htm">Job 5:8</a>. <p> [<font class="hebrew2">דִּבְרָה</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun feminine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>cause, reason</b></font> (Biblical Hebrew <em>id.</em>, √ <font class="hebrew2">דבר</font>, compare <font class="hebrew2">על דבר</font> Egyptian Aramaic S-C<sup>Pap.
