Call Non-existence things into Existence
בְּרֵאשִׁ֖ית בָּרָ֣א אֱלֹהִ֑ים אֵ֥ת הַשָּׁמַ֖יִם וְאֵ֥ת הָאָֽרֶץ׃
Bereshit bara Elohim; et haShamayim ve'et ha'aretz.
In the beginning Elohim created the heavens and the earth.
1:2 וְהָאָ֗רֶץ הָיְתָ֥ה תֹ֙הוּ֙ וָבֹ֔הוּ וְחֹ֖שֶׁךְ עַל־פְּנֵ֣י תְה֑וֹם וְר֣וּחַ אֱלֹהִ֔ים מְרַחֶ֖פֶת עַל־פְּנֵ֥י הַמָּֽיִם׃Veha'aretz, hayetah tohu vavohu, vechoshech al-penei tehom; veruach Elohim, merachefet al-penei hammayim.
The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of Elohim was hovering over the face of the waters.
Then Elohim said, “Let there be light”; and there was light.
1:4 וַיַּ֧רְא אֱלֹהִ֛ים אֶת־הָא֖וֹר כִּי־ט֑וֹב וַיַּבְדֵּ֣ל אֱלֹהִ֔ים בֵּ֥ין הָא֖וֹר וּבֵ֥ין הַחֹֽשֶׁךְ׃Vayar Elohim et-ha'or ki-tov; vayavdel Elohim, bein ha'or uvein hachoshech.And Elohim saw the light, that it was good; and Elohim divided the light from the darkness.
1:5 וַיִּקְרָ֨א אֱלֹהִ֤ים׀ לָאוֹר֙ י֔וֹם וְלַחֹ֖שֶׁךְ קָ֣רָא לָ֑יְלָה וַֽיְהִי־עֶ֥רֶב וַֽיְהִי־בֹ֖קֶר י֥וֹם אֶחָֽד׃ פ Vayikra Elohim la'or yom, velachoshech kara layelah; vayhi-'erev vayhi-voker yom echad.Elohim called the light Day, and the darkness He called Night. So the evening and the morning were the first day.1:6 וַיֹּ֣אמֶר אֱלֹהִ֔ים יְהִ֥י רָקִ֖יעַ בְּת֣וֹךְ הַמָּ֑יִם וִיהִ֣י מַבְדִּ֔יל בֵּ֥ין מַ֖יִם לָמָֽיִם׃
Vayomer elohim, yehi rakia betoch hammayim; vihi mavdil, bein mayim lamayim.
Then Elohim said, “Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.
1:7 וַיַּ֣עַשׂ אֱלֹהִים֮ אֶת־הָרָקִיעַ֒ וַיַּבְדֵּ֗ל בֵּ֤ין הַמַּ֙יִם֙ אֲשֶׁר֙ מִתַּ֣חַת לָרָקִ֔יעַ וּבֵ֣ין הַמַּ֔יִם אֲשֶׁ֖ר מֵעַ֣ל לָרָקִ֑יעַ וַֽיְהִי־כֵֽן׃
Vaya'as eEohim et-harakia vayavdel, bein hamayim asher mitachat larakia', uvein hamayim, asher me'al larakia'; vayhi-chen.
Thus Elohim made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament; and it was so.
1:8 וַיִּקְרָ֧א אֱלֹהִ֛ים לָֽרָקִ֖יעַ שָׁמָ֑יִם וַֽיְהִי־עֶ֥רֶב וַֽיְהִי־בֹ֖קֶר י֥וֹם שֵׁנִֽי׃ פ
Vayikra Elohim larakia shamayim; vayhi-'erev vayhi-voker yom sheni.
And Elohim called the expanse Heaven. So the evening and the morning were the second day.
1:9 וַיֹּ֣אמֶר אֱלֹהִ֗ים יִקָּו֨וּ הַמַּ֜יִם מִתַּ֤חַת הַשָּׁמַ֙יִם֙ אֶל־מָק֣וֹם אֶחָ֔ד וְתֵרָאֶ֖ה הַיַּבָּשָׁ֑ה וַֽיְהִי־כֵֽן׃
Vayomer Elohim, yikavu hamayim mitachat hashamayim el-makom echad, vetera'eh hayabashah; vayhi-chen.
Then Elohim said, “Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together into one place, and let the dry land appear”; and it was so.
1:10 And Elohim called the yabashah eretz; and the gathering together of ha mayim called the Seas: and Elohim Ki Tov.
1:11
And Elohim said, Let ha eretz bring forth grass, the herb yielding zera, [and] the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind (miyn מין), whose zera [is] in itself, upon ha eretz: and it was so.
1:12 And the earth brought forth grass, the herb that yields seed according to its kind, and the tree that yields fruit, whose seed is in itself according to its kind. And Elohim saw that it was good.
1:13 And the evening and the morning were yom shlishi .
Yom Revi'i - 4 havdalah - distinction separation divide
"Let there be lights in the firmament of the heavens lehavdil (to divide) the day from the night; and let them be for signs and seasons, and for days and years;
1:15 And let them be for lights in the firmament of the shamayim to give light upon ha eretz: and it was so.
1:16 And Elohim made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: [he made] the stars also.
1:17 And Elohim set them in the firmament of the shamayim to give light upon ha eretz,
1:18 וְלִמְשֹׁל֙ בַּיּ֣וֹם וּבַלַּ֔יְלָה וּֽלֲהַבְדִּ֔יל בֵּ֥ין הָא֖וֹר וּבֵ֣ין הַחֹ֑שֶׁךְ וַיַּ֥רְא אֱלֹהִ֖ים כִּי־טֽוֹב׃
Velimshol bayom uvalaylah, ulahavdil, bein ha'or uvein hachoshech; vayar Elohim ki-tov.
And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness. And Elohim saw that it was good
1:19 And the evening and the morning were yom revi'i (4th).
1:20 And Elohim said:
"Let the mayim bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath nefesh (life), and fowl [that] may fly above ha eretz in the open firmament of shamayim."
All species reproduce itself according to prototype species in which Creator design it does not evolve
1:21 So Elohim created great sea creatures and every living thing that moves, with which the waters abounded, according to their kind, and every winged bird according to its kind. And Elohim saw that it was good.
1:22 And Elohim baruch them, saying:
"Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the mayim in the seas, and let fowl multiply in ha eretz."
1:23 And the evening and the morning were yom chamishi (5th).
1:24 (A:iii) Then Elohim said,
"Let the earth bring forth the living creature according to its kind: cattle and creeping thing and beast of the earth, each according to its kind"; and it was so.
1:25 And Elohim made the beast of the earth according to its kind, cattle according to its kind, and everything that creeps on the earth according to its kind. And Elohim saw that it was good.
1:26
Then Elohim said,
"Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth."
1:27 So Elohim created man in His own image; in the image of Elohim He created him; male and female He created them.
1:28 And Elohim baruch them, and Elohim said unto them:
"Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish ha eretz, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon ha eretz."
1:29 And Elohim said, "See, I have given you every herb that yields seed which is on the face of all the earth, and every tree whose fruit yields seed; to you it shall be for food.
1:30 Also, to every beast of the earth, to every bird of the air, and to everything that creeps on the earth, in which there is life, I have given every green herb for food"; and it was so.
1:31 And Elohim saw every thing that he had made, and, Hinei, [it was] meod Tov. And the evening and the morning were yom hashishi (6th).
The Hebrew verb bara (“created”) employed by this verse specifically means the creation of something from nothing.
Some might suggest that in"let us", Hashem is speaking to angels. However, that cannot be, for the verse goes on to say " our image and our likeness" Angels are never said be in the "image of God. So "Let us speaks of diety.

ha eretz was formless and void:- ie a land reduced to primeval chaos and formlessness. It represents chaos, confusion, and disorder, all things that are opposed to the organization, direction, and order that Elohim has demonstrated.
(Saadia) Rakia in Hebrew, literally 'spread' or 'expanse.'
אור light - The transliteral writing varies 'OR' OHR ORAH' orah derive from the word Torah and Torah is light is the truth then come forth life in vs 5. also corresponse to what Messiah Yeshua spoke to the people saying in Yochanan 8:12 ..........."I AM the light of the olam hazeh. Whoever follows Me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.'"YeshaYahu 45:7 "I form the light and create darkness" plural ma'or /me'orah מאור מארה / מאורה / מאר . We see in 1:3 the sun has yet to be created, where does the source of light came from. It is the eternal light of the Living Elohim, a physical manifestation of Himself. Also we learn that the sun was created on the fourth day and not the first day, this point to the fact that we are not to worship the sun and moon light just as the pagan do. However any one out there if they do worship the sun or moon,your ancestor has been misled remember the true source of light is your Creator of the Universe HIM you shall worship.
the lesser light - moon Yerach; Yareach; yarei'ach month (lunar cycle), moon Beresheet 1:16; Dvarim 33:14; Yehoshua 10:12; Tehillim 8:3; 89:37;
Forewarn of potential idolatry:
idolatrously worshipped: Dvarim 17:3; Job 31:26; Jer 44:17Devarim 4:19 And lest thou lift up thine eyes unto heaven, and when thou seest the shemesh (sun), and the yarei'ach(moon), and kokhavim ( stars), even all the host of heaven, shouldest be driven to worship them, and serve them, which YHWH Eloheicha hath divided unto all nations under the whole heaven.
Devarim 17:3 And hath gone and served other gods, and worshipped them, either the sun, or moon, or any of the host of heaven, which I have not commanded;
Our image - tzelem The word here images are Hashem's characteristics; we are created bearing His characteristics. Believer in Yeshua has come into the fullness of their lives through the walking in redemption, and learning to walk in His derekh Tzedek, believers are to be transform into His demuth (likeness).
1:27 Male rkz Zakar meaning to remember and Female נקבה transliterate as nekebah derive from the root word naqab meaning to pierce: - bored (1), designate (1), designated (6), distinguished (1), holes (1), name (1), pierce (4), pierced (1). Adam is a prophetic picture of Yeshua. The Bride of Yeshua will come from His side. Yeshua's side was pierced. The cut is called "tzyon" in Hebrew. The root word of tzyon is betrothed. Putting the two together read as to remember the pierce one.
