GENESIS | 1:3 said — GEN15 In the beginning, there was the word.  Word...

GEN15 In the beginning, there was the word.  Words create worlds.  According to the Jewish mystics, good words create good worlds; evil words create evil worlds.  Words have power: creative power and destructive power.  Words can hurt or heal.  They can form or deform a relationship.  They can be a barrier or a window.  They can endear or abuse. … As Proverbs 18:21 says, “Life and death are in the power of the tongue.” On this verse in Proverbs the Talmud Arakhin 15b comments: “One who wants life can find it through the tongue; one who desires death can find it through the tongue.”  HTBAJ 193
