Dabar

The word dabar means "word" or "talk" in Hebrew. Dabar occurs in various contexts in the Hebrew Bible.

In the Hebrew Bible, dabar is sometimes used in reference to the "Divine Word", and in an active sense as a "word event", or prophetic words.

In Christianity, the Old Testament concept of "word event" represented by dabar carries over to the New Testament where revelation can be seen as events explained by words. Hence in the New Testament the word dabar continues to be more than a mere sound, or a doctrine, but refers to people and actions, reaching its climax in the Incarnation of Jesus.

The Septuagint, the oldest translation of the Hebrew Bible into Greek uses the terms Rhema and Logos as equivalents and uses both for dabar.

Dabar (župa)

Dabar was a župa (county) part of the medieval principality of Zahumlje (later "Hum"). It was first mentioned in the 10th century, in the De Administrando Imperio, as one of five inhabited cities of Zahumlje, a Serb principality. It was called Dobriskik. Dabar was situated around the Dabar field (Dabarsko polje), and bordered Dubrava in the west, Nevesinje in the north, Fatnica in the east and Popovo in the south-west. The word dabar means "beaver", thus, the etymology has been connected to beavers. There was also another region with the same name in the Lim river valley that had belonged to the Serbian kingdom until 1373 when Bosnian Ban Tvrtko I occupied it.
