Exodus 9:20
King James Version
11 Jun 2026
“He that feared the word of the Lord among the servants of Pharaoh made his servants and his cattle flee into the houses:”
דָּבָר
In Hebrew, dabar is not just a word spoken — it is a word that accomplishes something. God's dabar does not return empty. The psalmist says this word is a lamp to his feet — not a floodlight revealing everything ahead, but enough light for the next step. That is faith.
