\"Light\" and \"Lights\" in Gen. 1
Can someone shed some light on Genesis 1:3 and 14. V. 3 reads, "Let there be light,' and there was light. And God saw that the light was good. And God separated the light form the darkness. God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night..." And on the fourth day, "And God said, 'Let there be lights in teh expanse of the heavens to separate the day from the night. And let them be fore signs and for seasons, and for days and for years, and let them be lights in teh expanse of the heavens to give light upon the earth.' And it was so. And God made the two great lights--the greater light to rule the day and the leseer light to rule the night---and the starts..."
So, Day 1 has light and Day 4 has light, including the sun and moon. So, what is the difference in the lights and "nights"?
Thanks, openairboy
