VERSE: Gn50-21a

RULE: The Hebrew word D-B-R means to SPEAK. The Hebrew word
L-V means HEART. The phrase D-B-R L-V is a new term that
means SPEAK SOOTHINGLY, COMFORT

EXAMPLES:

{LIST1}    {Verses where SPEAK ON HIS HEART occur. In all of them
-------    the meaning seems to be speaking SOOTHINGLY, COMFORTING
           CONVINCINGLY or APPEASINGLY. If anyone has a more
           focused succinct translation let us know}

    VERSE     TOPIC
    -----     -----
(1) Gn34-3    Schem tries to WIN OVER Dinah as a wife
(2) 2Sam19-8  David tries to APPEASE the people after the civil war
(3) ISam40-2  God will COMFORT us on the exile
(4) Jud19-3   A Man tries To WIN BACK his runaway wife
(5) 1Sam1-13  Chana PRAYING to God for the comfort of a child
(6) Hos2:16   God COMFORTING Israel
(7) Gn50-21a  Joseph APPEASES his brothers who tried to kill him*1

NOTES
-----
*1 Rashi cites a rich variety of possible arguments that
Joseph used to comfort his brothers. However the MAIN point
of Rashi is that D-B-R L-V means to speak SOOTHINGLY
