- חָדָשׁ (ḥādāš) is the standard Hebrew adjective for 'new' or 'fresh,' and could function as a near-synonym for בְּרִיאָה in contexts where 'new thing' or 'newly created thing' is meant. While בְּרִיאָה emphasizes the created/brought-into-being aspect (from the root ברא), חָדָשׁ emphasizes the newness quality itself.
