@tebong235 Wow, pretty strong words there, you must be a fundamental Baptist :-)

I've just found another meaning for the root Beit, Resh, Aleph: to deforest, to cut down trees. Do you have any opinion about that meaning in relation to filling? One more thing, as I understood there may be no exact equivalent to "create" or "creation" in Hebrew, so no such a word exist in the bible, is that right?

@AmateurHebrew Sorry about the confusion about the Eyn Soph, easy to do in a forum like this lol. You are correct about the misspelling.

So the translation should be "In the beginning, God formed the heavens and the earth"? That makes sense.

@Ga5524 Yes, that would be a fair translation. Just recognize that there is a different Hebrew word that is usually translated as "formed," but that word more literally means "to press together," like a potter presses clay together to "form" it.

If genesis it has God saying let there be light and there was light. Let there be land and there was land water all that. God made the animals according to their kind. How can you say he is not the creator based on the meaning of bara? Youre saying he isnt the creator because he made all of these things out of somethings that already existed? God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning—the sixth day. (Genesis 1:31 NIV84)

@hockeyprep12 I never said God wasn't the creator, I believe he is, I am just saying that Gen 1 is not about the creation of the world out of nothing.
