¹⁹ "What is the way to the dwelling of light? As for darkness, where is the place of it,

³ God said, "Let there be light," and there was light.

⁴ God saw the light, and saw that it was good. God divided the light from the darkness.

⁹ The true light that enlightens everyone was coming into the world.

⁴⁵ Now from the sixth hour{noon} there was darkness over all the land until the ninth hour.{3:00 P. M.}

¹³ For, behold, he who forms the mountains, And creates the wind, And declares to man what is his thought; Who makes the morning darkness, And treads on the high places of the Earth: Yahweh, the God of hosts, is his name."

⁸ All the bright lights of the sky will I make dark over you, and set darkness on your land, says the Lord Yahweh.

¹⁶ Give glory to Yahweh your God, before he cause darkness, and before your feet stumble on the dark mountains, and, while you look for light, he turn it into the shadow of death, and make it gross darkness.

⁷ I form the light, and create darkness; I make peace, and create evil. I am Yahweh, who does all these things.

²⁸ He sent darkness, and made it dark. They didn't rebel against his words.

²⁰ You make darkness, and it is night, In which all the animals of the forest prowl.

¹¹ He made darkness his hiding-place, his pavilion around him, Darkness of waters, thick clouds of the skies.

¹² "Have you commanded the morning in your days, And caused the dawn to know its place;

¹³ That it might take hold of the ends of the earth, And shake the wicked out of it?

¹⁹ and lest you lift up your eyes to the sky, and when you see the sun and the moon and the stars, even all the host of the sky, you are drawn away and worship them, and serve them, which Yahweh your God has allotted to all the peoples under the whole sky.

¹⁴ God said, "Let there be lights in the expanse of sky to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days and years;

¹⁵ and let them be for lights in the expanse of sky to give light on the earth," and it was so.

¹⁶ God made the two great lights: the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night. He also made the stars.

¹⁷ God set them in the expanse of sky to give light to the earth,

¹⁸ and to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness. God saw that it was good.

¹² Again, therefore, Jesus spoke to them, saying, "I am the light of the world. He who follows me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the light of life."
