And so it is for other things which come to existence. They cannot be produced by a man or anyone else, but rather, through the decree of G-d, and His preparing all the means through which the thing will be produced, as written "And by Him, causes are counted" (Shmuel I 2:3), and "Who is great in counsel and mighty in carrying it out" (Yirmiyahu 32:19), and "it was a cause from G-d" (Melachim I 12:15). And if the means are blocked, none of the actions which normally bring this matter into existence will succeed.
