Genesis 1:19 meaning and explanation
And there was evening, and there was morning—the fourth day.
Genesis 1:19, Berean Standard Bible
Explanation preview
This closing refrain belongs to the account of creation's fourth day, when God set the sun, moon and stars in the sky to mark seasons, days and years. The narrator is not a character in the story but the voice shaping Israel's understanding of the world, likely writing for a people surrounded by nations who worshiped the sun and moon as gods.
