in his words
| Morphological Notes | Preposition ב + masculine plural construct noun + 3ms pronominal suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun דָּבָר derives from the root 'to speak, declare' and fundamentally denotes something spoken. The plural construct with 3ms suffix ('his') plus the prefixed preposition ב ('in') yields 'in his words,' preserving both the root sense of spoken utterances and the full morphology. |
