Did you know that the Hebrew title for Deuteronomy is "Devarim" which means "words" and comes from the Hebrew word "davar"?
"Davar" means a word, a speech; messages, a matter or a thing. Mainly used in the Old Testament, the phrase "the word of the Lord" is used repeatedly.
The first time we see "davar" in the OT is in Genesis 15:1
"After these things, the word of the Lord came to Abram in a vision, saying, "Do not be afraid, Abram. I am your shield, your exceedingly great reward."
We know that Jesus is the Word---so I will be exploring how "words" and "the word" are woven throughout the scriptures, both Old and New Testaments.
Awesome!------LL
