Then also do the same with the New Testament.

Today, when someone gives a word, this seems to me to be someone speaking with someone else to give them a word for their benefit, encouragement, counseling, etc
Good points Weighing. Matthew, quoting Deut. 8:3 has Jesus saying to the devil in the desert, "Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God."*

It's interesting that that word was not OT or NT word, but mouth of God word.
