It is the object of this chapter to show that the words “speaking” and “saying” are synonymous terms denoting (a) “Speech”; as, e.g., “Moses shall speak (yedabber)” (Exod. 19:19); “And Pharaoh said (va-yomer)” (ib. 5:5); (b) “Thought” as formed in the mind without being expressed in words; e.g., “And I thought (ve-amarti) in my heart” (Eccles. 2:15); “And I thought (vedibbarti) in my heart” (ib.); “And thy heart will imagine (yedabber)” (Prov. 23:33); “Concerning Thee my heart thought (amar)” (Ps. 27:8); “And Esau thought (va-yomer) in his heart” (Gen. 27:41); examples of this kind are numerous; (c) Will; e.g., “And he said (va-yomer) to slay David” (2 Sam. 21:16), that is to say, he wished or he intended to slay him; “Dost thou desire (omer) to slay me” (Exod. 2:14); “And the whole congregation intended (va-yomeru) to stone them” (Num. 14:10). Instances of this kind are likewise numerous.
