Genesis 1:3 - Scofield Reference Notes

Bible Comments

Let there be light

Neither here nor in (Genesis 1:14-18) is an original creative act implied. A different word is used. The sense is, made to appear; made visible. The sun and moon were created "in the beginning." The "light" of course came from the sun, but the vapour diffused the light. Later the sun appeared in an unclouded sky.

Genesis 1:3

3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
