Strong's Lexicon biryah: Creation, creature Original Word: בִּרְיָה Word Origin: Derived from the root בָּרָא (bara), meaning "to create" or "to bring forth." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint and the New Testament for creation is κτίσις (ktisis), Strong's Greek #2937, which carries a similar meaning of creation or creature. Usage: The Hebrew word "biryah" refers to something that has been created, often used in the context of God's creative acts. 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. Cultural and Historical Background: 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.
