VERSE: Lv20-02a

RULE: The difference between the Hebrew roots AMR and DBR
is as follows:
(a) AMR means to SPEAK
(b) DBR means to CITE



As a rule of thumb CITE is used when you must be formal--it
is therefore associated with punishments and other unpleasant
circumstances. SPEAK is more often used when you are involved
in dialgoue


Further support of this distinction can be made by reviewing
the following {LISTS} of meanings of the respective roots.
