In connection with the claim that BR) [but not YCR and (SH] is a
divine prerogative --- only God can "create" something, but Man may
well be a YOCER and an (OSEH, I recall having said once that also
SLX, 'forgive', is found in the HB exclusively as an act of God. Yet
it is extensively used now to describe interpersonal relationships,
so much so that SLIXAH is currently upon every lip as, 'sorry, pardon
me'.
