Boreh — Creator
בּוֹרֵא
The Creator — the participle of bara, the verb reserved in Scripture for God's making alone.
Bara never takes a human subject in Scripture — creating from nothing belongs to one Name. Isaiah wields the title against despair: the Boreh of earth's ends does not faint; He creates anew. Both traditions end their Bibles with Him still creating.
First occurrence
Isa 40:28 — 'The everlasting God, YHVH, Boreh of the ends of the earth'
Key passages
Eccl 12:1 — 'Remember your Boreh in the days of your youth'
Isa 43:15 — 'I am YHVH your Holy One, Boreh of Israel, your King'
Isa 65:17 — 'Behold, I create new heavens and a new earth'
