Let My People Know

Rabbi Adin Steinsaltz: “God created with wisdom as His instrument, like man uses tools.”

As it is written: “You have made them all with wisdom” (Psalm 104:24).

God created with wisdom as His instrument, like man uses tools.

Wisdom may thus be seen here as something other than a Divine attribute—it can be considered a Divine tool.

That is to say, wisdom is for God what action is for man.
