It emphasizes the aspect of being brought into existence by divine power. In the Hebrew Bible, it is used to denote creatures or creations, highlighting the relationship between the Creator and His creation.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of creation was deeply tied to the understanding of God's sovereignty and power. The act of creation was not just a physical manifestation but also a demonstration of divine authority and purpose. The Hebrew worldview saw the universe as a deliberate and purposeful act of God, contrasting with other ancient Near Eastern creation myths that often depicted creation as a result of conflict or accident.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/1262.htm">barah</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>food<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>food (3).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">בִּרְיָה</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun feminine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>food</b></font> <a href="/interlinear/2_samuel/13-5.htm">2 Samuel 13:5</a>,7,10;
