Genesis 1:1
בְּ רֵאשִׁית בָּרָא אֶלֹהִים אֵת הַ שָּׁמַיִם וְ אֵת הָ אָרֶץ

| 5 | Strong’s #1245, bara. To cut out, carve out, form by cutting. “cutting, shape out, pare a reed for writing, a stick for an arrow” See Gesenius, BDB, Fuerst, etc. Think of a lump of something or a crude, rough object being shaped into something good. This verb to cut/carve out is in the Hebrew perfect, which means the action is complete. This tells us how the beginning is the end and we now “run toward” the completion, Today, hastening it according to Peter, or running the race set-in-front of ourselves (Heb. 12:1). When elohim “remembers” something (Gen. 8:1, 9:15, 16. 19:29, etc.) he/they are “remembering” what has already happened/become in the future. |
