What is the Hebrew word for the Greek "logos"?

Wiki:

Both Plato and Aristotle used the term logos along with rhema to refer to sentences and propositions.[76][77]
The Septuagint translation of the Hebrew Bible into Greek uses the terms rhema and logos as equivalents and uses both for the Hebrew word dabar, as the Word of God.[78][79][80]

Brown-Driver-Briggs dabar:

singular speech, discourse, saying, word, as the sum of that which is spoken:
saying, utterance, sentence, as a section of a discourse
advice, counsel,
reason, cause

The closest Hebrew word for the Greek logos is dabar. As usual, it is not a 1-to-1 correspondence. Particularly when it comes to one special usage of logos. [Wiki]:

Logos became a technical term in Western philosophy beginning with Heraclitus (c. 535 – c.  475 BC), who used the term for a principle of order and knowledge.[6] Ancient Greek philosophers used the term in different ways. The sophists used the term to mean "discourse". Aristotle applied the term to refer to "reasoned discourse"[7] or "the argument" in the field of rhetoric, and considered it one of the three modes of persuasion alongside ethos and pathos.[8] Pyrrhonist philosophers used the term to refer to dogmatic accounts of non-evident matters. The Stoics spoke of the logos spermatikos (the generative principle of the Universe) which foreshadows related concepts in Neoplatonism.[9]

This was a technical usage. There was no Hebrew 1-to-1 correspondence for that.

The English word "logic " is translated in Chinese as "逻辑" (luójí). The Chinese did not bother trying to find a traditional Chinese phrase to approximate the Western concept of logic.

Interesting to observe the book of Deuteronomy in Hebrew is called 'Dabarim' ... words .... after the speeches of Moses contained in the book.

Most Christians don't know the 'Logos' was a known concept in the Greek world when John used it in his Gospel - he 'borrowed' and used it, applying it to Jesus.

See Logos | Definition, History, & Facts - from it:

"Philo Judaeus (Philo of Alexandria), a 1st-century-ce Jewish philosopher, taught that the logos was the intermediary between God and the cosmos, being both the agent of creation and the agent through which the human mind can apprehend and comprehend God."

Pretty similar to what John is teaching us about Jesus isn't it?
