Genesis 15:4

And behold, Yahweh ordered-words toward him, to say, `This one is not taking possesion of you;557 but he who is coming out from your bowels,558 himself is taking possession of you.`

Footnote:

557

A reference to the Adversary?

דבר יהוה אליו

"Yahweh has ordered-words toward him"

Prior interpretation treated דבר as a construct noun rather than דבר which is the 3rd person perfect verb of "to speak/arrange words." There is no difference in spelling, only vocalizations which are not a part of the original text.
