Speech
"And Elohim formed the man...and He blew into his nostrils
the soul of life; and man became a living being." (Gen 2:7)
The essence of life, which only YHVH/Elohim can impart, includes the power of speech. The ability to use intelligent speech
to communicate is what elevates man above the animal world. The primary purpose in creating man with the power of speech was
so that he would "speak" to Elohim through prayer. Speech is inherently holy, for it was created for
us to be able to
communicate with YHVH. One who does not sanctify his speech - using it instead to disparage and slander -defiles YHVH's gift.
