# sipper

noun

«sipper» in the English dictionary: in Jewish tradition — its meanings, how the lessons use it, and examples, each with its tree on Mova.

## In Jewish tradition

Interpretation: Sefer Yetzirah's readers see in the root S-P-R the three ways God made the world: by counting, writing and speaking.

### Meaning

Sipper is the Hebrew word for "he told," from the same root as number and book. [tree →](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/judaism/S/sipper/#m1)

### Examples

- However, only one, ספ״ר SPR, is capable of describing all three: counting (סָפַר safar 'he counted', מִסְפָּר mispar 'number, count'), writing (סֵפֶר sefer 'book, scroll'), and speaking (סִפֵּר sipper 'he told, accounted', סִפּוּר sippur 'telling, account').
