We learned that the Hebrew word, ‘dabar’, is translated as “word”, “thing”, and “matter”, but it is also translated as “merchandise” or “trade”.

This answers the question, “How was iniquity found in the perfectly created anointed cherub named “Lucifer”. Read Ezek. 28:11-19.

“You were perfect in your ways from the day you were created, Till iniquity was found in you. “By the abundance of your trading You became filled with violence within, And you sinned; Therefore I cast you as a profane thing Out of the mountain of God; And I destroyed you, O covering cherub, From the midst of the fiery stones.” (Ezekiel 28:15–16, NKJV)

The iniquity that was found in him was the abundance of his words that did not align with Gods words. When we speak without aligning our thoughts and words with God, there is a great potential for aligning with the devil’s thoughts and words.

“In the multitude of words sin is not lacking, But he who restrains his lips is wise. The tongue of the righteous is choice silver; The heart of the wicked is worth little.” (Proverbs 10:19–20, NKJV)

Another translation says, “The tongue of the righteous is as purged silver.”  New Covenant - “what ever is not of faith is sin.” This is not a condemning word. It is a freeing word. You can, you get to align your thoughts and words with God. You get to use words which are spirit and life. You get to produce life with your words.
