דִּבָּה f. (root דָּבַכ No. 2) slander, calumny. הוֹצִיא דִבָּה to spread slander, Numbers 14:36; Proverbs 10:18. The genitive which follows has either an active sense [i.e. of the slanderer], e. g. Psalms 31:14, בִּי שָׁמַעְתִּי דִּבַּת רַבִּים “for I heard the slander of many,” Jeremiah 20:10 or a passive [of the person slandered], Numbers 13:32, 14:37 Genesis 37:2; Proverbs 25:10, וְרִבָּֽתְךָ לֹא תָשׁוּב “(so) that thine infamy turn not away from thee.” (Arab. دَبُوبُ a secret slanderer, one who spreads calumnies. Syr. ܛܒܶܐܳ report, rumour, and ܐܰܛܒܶ to spread a rumour. Ch. טִבָּה reproach).
