This article examines the idea of creatio ex nihilo in the thought of ancient Judaism on the basis of biblical texts (Gn 1:2; Es 45:7; Pr 8:27), the Dead Sea Scrolls, the Targumim and 2 Macc 7:28. The hypothesis put forward is that the idea cannot be derived directly from these texts. The talk of matter preceding divine creation does not contradict the conviction that the God of Israel is the creator of the universal order.
