THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BARA AND ASAH

Exodus 20:11

"For in six days the LORD made (ASAH) heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day; wherefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day,and hallowed (to make Holy) it."


KINGDOM BELIEVERS TAKEAWAYS

1. The word of God is consistent concerning the terms BARA and ASAH.

2. The term ASAH is use here instead of BARA.

3. The Bible makes a clear distinction between CREATION of heavens and the earth in the beginning by using the word BARA and the renewing of the heavens (earth's heaven/it's atmosphere) and the
earth in six days by using the Hebrew word ASAH.

4. These two words are not used interchangeably with respect to the heavens and the earth.

5. There are five places in the Bible where BARA denotes the instantaneous creation o the heavens and the earth in the beginning, they are (Gen. 1:1; Gen. 2:3-4; Ps. 148:5; Isa. 42:5; Isa. 45:18).
