SIBI-P1 H1251-01
he created
| Root | ברא (b-r-ʾ) |
| Core Meanings | create, shape, bring into being, cut, fashion, initiate |
| Semantic Range | to create ex nihilo, to bring into existence, to fashion or shape, to initiate something new, to cut or clear (in certain contexts) |
| Conceptual Significance | ברא is used predominantly of Elohim as subject, marking acts of sovereign creation and new beginnings. It conveys divine initiative and authority, especially in Genesis 1, where it signals the origination of ordered reality by the will and power of God. |
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem (simple active), perfect aspect, 3rd person masculine singular. Denotes a completed action performed by a masculine singular subject. |
| Rendering Rationale | The verb is Qal perfect third masculine singular, indicating a completed action performed by a single male subject: "he created." The rendering preserves the core sense of ברא as bringing something into being or initiating a new reality, a meaning especially associated with divine activity in the Hebrew Bible. |
