-The right angle of the ''dalet'' ד means that the information is not complete, like a pipe that is pinched rather than smoothly transitioned. We say that it is a command. As a metaphor, it represents the command itself, the result of the command, or the response to the command.  God commanded the creation into existence. The universe is the result of the command, and testifies to to the invisible nature of God. <ref group="s">Ro 1:20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, [even] his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:</ref>
-But the command does not reveal all about God. The revelation of God is the ''rosh'' ר. We will come back to this.  Though in English three words are nearly synonyms, we use them in a technical way: command, revelation, teaching. The ''dalet'' ד is the command. The revelation or ''rosh'' ר  contains personality. And teaching or ''lamed'' ל is a shared heart.
 ''Dalet'' means 'poor one' and 'door'.
