And God said,
“Let there
be light…”
Genesis 1:3
14. And God said, “Let there be
lights in the expanse of the
heavens to separate the day from
the night. And let them be for
signs and for seasons, and for
days and years, 15 and let them
be lights in the expanse of the
heavens to give light upon the
earth.” And it was so.
14. And God said, “Let there be
lights in the expanse of the
heavens to separate the day from
the night. And let them be for
signs and for seasons, and for
days and years, 15 and let them
be lights in the expanse of the
heavens to give light upon the
earth.” And it was so.
16 And God made the two great
lights—the greater light to rule
the day and the lesser light to
rule the night—and the stars.
17 And God set them in the
expanse of the heavens to give
light on the earth,
18 to rule over the day and over
the night, and to separate the
light from the darkness. And
God saw that it was good.
19 And there was evening and
there was morning, the fourth
day.”
