Genesis 1:19 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 1:19

And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.
] Made by the rotation of the earth on its own axis, in the space of twenty four hours: this according to Capellus was the twenty first of April, and according to Bishop Usher the twenty sixth of October; or, as others, the fourth of September: and thus, as on the fourth day of the creation the sun was made, or appeared, so in the fourth millennium the sun of righteousness arose on our earth.

Genesis 1:19 In-Context

17 God put them in the sky to give light to the earth,

18 to dominate the day and the night, and to separate the light from the darkness. God saw that it was good.

19 There was evening, then morning--a fourth day.

20 Then God said, "Let the water swarm with swimming creatures, and let birds fly through the sky over the earth."

21 So God created the large sea creatures, every type of creature that swims around in the water and every type of flying bird. God saw that they were good.
