King James Bible
"And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness."
God evaluates his creation and declares the light inherently good, establishing a pattern of divine approval that recurs throughout the creation narrative. This assessment emphasizes that light exists as a positive force in God's ordered universe, reflecting his own nature and purposes. God creates order by establishing boundaries between opposing elements, demonstrating his sovereignty over chaos. This act of separation introduces the fundamental rhythm of day and night, structuring time itself and making life possible within creation's framework.
