The root דבר (dabar), its many derivations and the many meaning of each derivation, occur over 2,500 times in the Old Testament. HAW Theological Wordbook of the Old Testament reports that the King James Bible uses more than 110 different English words and expressions to translate this one Hebrew word דבר (dabar).
Our root basically has to do with the vocal conveyance of a whole message (unlike the verb אמר (amar), which means to say or talk), or refers to 'matters' or 'things to be discussed'.
Besides its enormous significance in the phrase Word of God, the root is used to indicate the "order" of Melchizedek, the "inner sanctuary" of the Holy of Holies..."
