The Besht's take, and I love its truth: And G-d said, "Let there be
light!" and that [the Divine Utterance "Yehi Or"] was light.

G-d didn't speak and *poof* it happened. G-d "Spoke" and the act of "Speech"
is it happening. And as long as there is light, we know G-d is still saying
Yehi Or. Unlike writing, where the author can stop once the word exists.
Creation is continual.

Which aligns with /DBR/ being used both for dibbur and for davar.

Tir'u baTov!
