Bara is a special verb: in the Hebrew Bible only God is ever its subject. It does not by itself require “from nothing,” but its exclusive use of God marks creation as uniquely divine work no creature can do.

It opens Scripture — “In the beginning God created (bara)” — and reappears when God promises to “create a clean heart” or “new heavens and a new earth.” The God who made everything is the same God who makes people new.
