Is also the English transliteration for the Hebrew word, being the second word in the Bible. It is a verb and means 'to create or make' . This verb only has God as its subject and so only God is able to create in the sense implied in the meaning of this verb. It includes the idea of creation out of nothing. This is clearly seen in other passages where it is used apart from Genesis 1:1, such as passages that refer to creation on a cosmic scale:

Genesis 2:3 (King James Version)

3And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.

Isaiah 40:26 (King James Version)

Isaiah 42:5 (King James Version)
