The first posuk of the Torah: “Bereshis bara...” etc. has 7 words and twenty-eight letters.  <snip>the posuk immediately prior to the Aseret Hadibrot (Shmos 20:1): “Vay’daber Elohim es kol had’vorim ha’eyleh leimor” has 7 words and twenty-eight letters.  
“In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.” The foundational purpose of creation is “Y’hei sh’mei rabba...” and the way that can be effected is “Vay’daber Elohim es kol had’vorim ha’eyleh leimor”.

We recently mentioned here the connection between the asara maamarot through which the world was created and the aseret hadibrot.  The above gives us a new insight into this connection.
