Genesis 1:17-19
New English Translation

17 God placed the lights[a] in the expanse of the sky to shine on the earth, 18 to preside over the day and the night, and to separate the light from the darkness.[b] God saw that it was good. 19 There was evening, and there was morning, a fourth day.

Footnotes

  1. Genesis 1:17 tn Heb “them”; the referent (the lights mentioned in the preceding verses) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
  2. Genesis 1:18 sn In days one to three there is a naming by God; in days five and six there is a blessing by God. But on day four there is neither. It could be a mere stylistic variation. But it could also be a deliberate design to avoid naming “sun” and “moon” or promoting them beyond what they are, things that God made to serve in his creation.
