You make darkness, and it is night, when all the beasts of the forest creep about.
I form light and create darkness; I make well-being and create calamity; I am the Lord, who does all these things.
Yours is the day, yours also the night; you have established the heavenly lights and the sun.
Thus says the Lord: “For three transgressions of the Ammonites, and for four, I will not revoke the punishment, because they have ripped open pregnant women in Gilead, that they might enlarge their border.
even there your hand shall lead me, and your right hand shall hold me. If I say, “Surely the darkness shall cover me, and the light about me be night,” even the darkness is not dark to you; the night is bright as the day, for darkness is as light with you.
For every beast of the forest is mine, the cattle on a thousand hills.
While the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night, shall not cease.”
And God saw that the light was good. And God separated the light from the darkness. God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, the first day.
