Joshua 8:34
King James Version
10 Jun 2026
“And afterward he read all the words of the law, the blessings and cursings, according to all that is written in the book of the law.”
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.
