Devarim
In our precious language, Hebrew, there is no word for "things." Instead, we generally employ davar to denote "things." But this is not accurate. Davar means word. For example, when God casts the universe He does so with devarim , not things but words. The devarim uttered by the Celestial One then becomes the physical reality of that expression. In much the same way, Judaism insists that there is no such thing as a word that exists as only a breath. For from being vapid, every word becomes transformed into matter. That is why devarim means both word and things. Words are the vessels that hold reality. Inside every word is a power that has its ultimate source in God. That is why He created us and everything else with devarim . There is more: our words, like God's, are also creative. They mold and form. Words capture an idea and then becomes reality....
