Inasmuch as we are dealing with Genesis, it is worth while noticing
that ברא, BARA, which is rendered in English: 'create', and which
is the first verb (root) of the entire bible, is a variant of פרע
PARA, 'disperse'. There is nothing in this verb (root) to indicate
that God made "something" out of "nothing".
Other relatives of ברא are ברה, פרא, פרה.
