Exposition
This word appears 6 times in the Torah in this form, and in those cases it refers to a form of supernatural creation. Unlike other verbs that indicate forming or building, this one has a non-natural source. It is interesting to note that the Genesis Chapter One version of Creation uses "bara" while the Chapter Two version of Creation does not. There, it has Yahweh picking up soil, molding it, and forming things.

One could also say "created" instead of "manifested", but the English word "created" can also infer a natural method rather than a supernatural one, and so "manifested" seems to be better fit for my translation.

So bara, as a supernatural act means that it was made manifest without any physical interference/assistance. 

There was no assembly of atoms or setting forces into motion to make it happen. It was intended and it came into existence through supernatural means.
