help with a bit of hebrew
phazel:
I am not really understanding how to research greek and hebrew meanings.
The only source I have right now to the hebrew and greek is www.scripture4all.org
In Genesis 1:27 when it is talking about God "creating" rather than created I see a reference to the hebrew word "uibra" and in other passages when the word is rendered "created" I see the hebrew word
"bra" but both words seem to have the same strongs number h1254. So what am I missing here?

Hi Phazel,
One way to have a better understanding of what the meaning is would be to look at what the best translations say.
When you compare the few that Ray uses and recommends - The Concordant Literal, Rotherham's Emphasized Bible, The Emphatic Diaglott, and Young's Literal Translation. I find that using these really helps my understanding.
CLV
Gen 1:27 And creating is the Elohim humanity in His image. In the image of the Elohim He creates it. Male and female He creates them.
YLT
Gen 1:27 And God prepareth the man in His image; in the image of God He prepared him, a male and a female He prepared them.
Rotherham
Gen 1:27 And God created the man in his own image, In the image of God, created he him,—Male and female, created he, them.
mercy, peace and love

I'm not so much at this point just after an understanding scripturally. I clearly see the significant difference between "created" and creating.
But in order to seek accuracy, I am wondering about the difference is how the word is used.
If the same strongs reference is used for the rendering of two different words, what makes the difference in how it is used?
Of course when I reference the scripture4all.org I also see a difference. it has the words "bra" for created, and "uibra" for creating, but if I go online to a lexicon with the strongs number H1254 I get this.
1254 bara' baw-raw' a primitive root; (absolutely) to create; (qualified) to cut down (a wood), select, feed (as formative processes):-- choose, create (creator), cut down, dispatch, do, make (fat).

greetings.
go to a judiasm forum and ask these questions if you want. BUT, i asked the same question and even those learned in hebrew and messianich jews understand it to be ""creating"" a continueing act.
