'Word' in the Bible

And the word of the Lord came to Jonah, the son of Amittai, saying,

And the word of the Lord came to Jonah a second time, saying,

Up! go to Nineveh, that great town, and give it the word which I have given you.

And the word came to the king of Nineveh, and he got up from his seat of authority, and took off his robe, and covering himself with haircloth, took his seat in the dust.
