| Core Meanings | create, shape, bring into being, fashion, cut/shape out |
| Semantic Range | to create, bring into existence, shape or fashion, initiate something new, appoint or establish; in rare contexts, to cut or clear. |
| Conceptual Significance | ברא is used in the Hebrew Bible primarily of divine activity, especially in Genesis 1, emphasizing YHWH’s unique role as the one who brings realities into existence. It underscores divine sovereignty, intentionality, and the inauguration of new orders of existence. |
| Morphological Notes | Hebrew verb, Qal stem, perfect (suffix conjugation), 3rd person masculine singular (HVqp3ms). Denotes completed action in narrative sequence. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form is Qal perfect 3rd masculine singular, indicating a completed action performed by a masculine singular subject—"he created." The rendering preserves the core sense of ברא as bringing something into being or shaping it, while accurately reflecting the verbal stem (simple active) and person/number/gender. |
