3 And God said, let there be light: and there was light.
COMMENTARY: And God said: This is the first of a highly structured series of succinct and formulate sentences expressing the creative commands of God. Thus, Creation is accomplished by His word. Each command consists of (1) an announcement, "God said"; (2) a creative command, "Let there be"; (3) a summary word of accomplishment, "And it was so"; (4) a descriptive word of accomplishment, "The earth brought forth"; (5) a descriptive blessing, "God blessed"; (6) an evaluative approval, "It was good"; and (7) a concluding temporal framework, numbering each day.
