Genesis 1:3
King James Version
6 Jun 2026
“And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.”
אוֹר
The first thing God spoke into existence. Light does not negotiate with darkness — it simply arrives and darkness is gone. David says the LORD is his light. Not a torch he carries. The LORD Himself is the light. You cannot be lost in the dark if God is with you.

טוֹב
Taste and see. David does not say understand or agree — he says taste. Towb is goodness you experience, not just believe in. God's goodness is not a theological position. It is something you encounter when you draw near to Him.

הָיָה
I AM. Hayah. The self-existent one. When Moses asked God His name God said I AM THAT I AM. Not I was or I will be but I AM. Always present always existing always enough. Jesus used the same words: before Abraham was I AM.

חֹשֶׁךְ
Darkness. Choshek. The absence of light. God separated light from darkness. Jesus said He is the light of the world. Whoever follows Him will not walk in darkness.
