[דֹּ֫בֶר] noun [masculine] pasture (compare Aramaic דַּבְרָא, Syriac [untranscribed source text 1075]) — suffix כְּעֵדֶר בְּתוֺךְ הַדָּֽבְרוֺ as a flock in the midst of its pasture Mic 2:12 (article with suffix, compare Ges«GKC:127»§ 127, 4 b, who attaches ו as conjunction to following word); וְרָעזּ כְבָשִׂים כְּדֳבְרָם and lambs shall feed as (in) their pasture Isa 5:17.
דִּבֵּר noun [masculine] speaking (so Ew§ 156) Jer 5:13 וְהַדִּבֵּר אֵין בָּהֶם; according to Hi Gf Ki (less probably) verb with article for relation (see [ דָּבַר ] Pi`el): but read rather הַדָּבָר, and the word is not in them.
