Genesis 1:15 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 1:15

And let them be for lights in the firmament of the
heaven
To continue there as luminous bodies; as enlighteners, as the word signifies, causing light, or as being the instruments of conveying it, particularly to the earth, as follows: to give light upon the earth;
and the inhabitants of it, when formed: and it was so:
these lights were formed and placed in the firmament of the heaven for such uses, and served such purposes as God willed and ordered they should.

Genesis 1:15 In-Context

13 factumque est vespere et mane dies tertius

14 dixit autem Deus fiant luminaria in firmamento caeli ut dividant diem ac noctem et sint in signa et tempora et dies et annos

15 ut luceant in firmamento caeli et inluminent terram et factum est ita

16 fecitque Deus duo magna luminaria luminare maius ut praeesset diei et luminare minus ut praeesset nocti et stellas

17 et posuit eas in firmamento caeli ut lucerent super terram
